Roland allways was great in recognisable iconic sounds..
And Eric indeed has a golden touch where it comes to sound..
Did you ever get your hands on the keyscape library?
Such incredible high quallity sampling ..
No, I have still beaten about the bush (eromheen draaien als de kat om de hete brij - same metaphor as in German) with software libraries so far. I have installed Garritan BigBand, but haven't found or taken the time to really use it.
For symphonic sounds I have been using iSymphonic for iPad together with the MODX sounds, which is quite a good level already.
