Let me guess what you got; xPand!2. If so, I agree that it has tons of very good patches. I bought another license for it when it was going for 99 cents. It's their way (Air Music Tech) to get you to upgrade to the expansion bundle. The expansion bundle is a bargain itself. It would be great to be able to call up sounds in xPand!2 by MIDI PC messages. You can sort of solve the problem by creating lots of "rackspaces" in Gig Performer.

I, too, no longer buy high end keyboards anymore thanks to software based instruments and tools though I still play occasional gigs. You can't beat its flexibility. However, it is easy to spend lots of money on software as well.
