STS has an amazing amount of support in the conversion utility world.
Having this either stream, or be a 64bit RAM Sampler would be great.
It sounds close to Giga quality, and definately more oooommph than Kontakt.
Kontakt is the last app standing so if you want a variety of content you have no choice.
The sound engine is typically NI-ish and thin, but w/ some help from Scope I got it to sound pretty good.
I'm just not use to having to add color or juice to a sampler.
If I could find a soft sampler w/ sound like the Rolnad S770 I would pay dearly for that.
You'd think w/ 8 core rigs this would have been done by now, but 64bit took them a year and half longer than said.
I feel sorry for developers that have to chase M$ & Apple around. Must be a lot of work just to find out there's another new version to raise revenues.....

STS 5000 seems to have some really great features like stretching, etc. Pretty cool for 2002, but that was then.
