Why not simply a license deal with a great style factory, if he hasn't got the dough up front? Not that I imagine that it is THAT expensive... hundreds of thousands? For 400 styles? $500 or more per style? Shouldn't be hard to find someone at THAT rate!
Has Dom talked to EMC?

Hi Dennis
Points to remember
Make sure you use a download manager, as you wouldn’t want to start again if the connection dropped.
Make sure your ISP doesn’t have data limits set up on your account.
If you haven’t got broadband, forget it.
Remember it will probably be about a 4GB download. (Depends how WinRAR has compressed the files)
Enjoy, and don’t rush anything. (Software arrangers are infectious)
Regards
Bill

The folder is about 4200Mb now and the compressed RAR file is 2300Mb. The MS user can download direct from the MS GFTP tool and I will also duplicate one copy on the web store. I have to test too IF the Explorer and Firefox are able to download one big RAR file of 2300mb without errors.
So...MS users please use first the GFTP tool from MS side to be totally sure of the whole download and then Extract the rar file inside the GigaLibrary folder. With the GIGA SOLO MS mode you can also play the all new giga sounds on right hand. Enjoy

Diki, Yes I have heard the rate is several hundred per style. But also, there are some third party's that make them and sell for more like $10.00. But are they like factory quality? Subjective.
Wersi was smart...just license to use the Yamaha styles and provide the engine to play them directly. How do they work/sound?
Dennis, I'll be anxious to hear how the XG set works/sounds.
Dom, Hey man...just send CD's out for the sound set. Won't cost that much. Quality assured.

Originally posted by Frank L. Rosenthal: Rikki, it may be hard to believe that I have not made many changes to my software based arranger system in recent times. As you know I spent a great deal of time getting my system up to the quality and reliability standards I set for myself. I still prefer my software based system over any of the hardware based arranger systems out there today. I have operated my software system now for many many years.
I am all for progress and aplaud the development of the MS. It has a better control surface compared to my system for one.
Rikki, I still think you and Fran should just give up on the hardware stuff and again adopt the software approach....you just can't lose!!! Besides I need some friends.....
Lee S. I don't think Garritan's wavetables will include key switching. You find more of that in the higher end (East-West, VSL, etc.) sound sets. Although Garritan's Strings may have this feature.
