The huge sample size is probably because they resampled the Proteus and not used the orriginal samples...
Which prooves the opposite of your statement, its incredible how good the sounds are that Yamaha can create withe their current samples... There are 2000 sounds in the Tyros 5 and only 700 MB of samples... And yet the soundquallity is close to the big kontakt sound libraries..
No, Bachus, it is not resampled (look at the DSF link and product description), and the E-MU package is only 32 MB in Soundfont format. It only grows to 500 MB when it is converted into the Motif .x3v format.
The other Motif libraries I have all seem exaggerated in their sample size when comparing their quality with the 32/64MB Roland SRX boards, for example. I don't trust those size statements any more. Nobody knows by what factors these figures are inflated.
