For EDM, I would say that there is probably a lot of stuff one could use. I like Saxophonia and World Flutes, for example.

You can pay a lot more and get many of them, but not many sound very good if you like real-sounding stuff. Bundled instruments: There aren't many of these. I've never used the peer support/forum for Samplitude. They have taken the samples and developed some instruments using them using different players. I don't think that Independence is any different now than it was before, but I used it only on a couple of projects years ago and did not like the results. In fact, Samplitude, as you probably know by now, is (or was) handled by a different group than the more consumer-related stuff. This has not interfered with using Samplitude. Sketchy reputation: Somewhat, but it seems to be better than it used to be. That's a way of saying that I found Samplitude much easier to use for my work than SONAR. After using Samplitude for some years, I tried to use SONAR X2 and X3 for a project, then gave up and had to recreate it in Samplitude. I finally got so fed up with SONAR and the direction it went around the time of X that I simply stopped using it. Hi Dave, I've been using Samplitude for years now.
