A little late jumping on the train...

Dan2000,

As I understand it, you need to have a robust and ready sound set to provide your customers with, one that has all the qualities explained here before: Good sound quality, consistency, lots of instruments, editable etc.

One thought, forgive me if I am being naive here, or if you've already done it: Ever questioned Steinberg for Hypersonic 2 engine and sounds? It sounded very very good to my ears some years ago, it had lots of different instruments, was loading very fast and it could operate on 16 channels simultaneusly. It is now for a long time a discontinued product. Maybe you could grab some kind of license for a bargain and build from there, instead of trying to recreate a whole new palette of sounds from scratch?

I remember your very first post here, and I have to congratulate you for coming this far.
