Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

I personally find flute characteristic as one of most suitable for
solo voices in various kind of music. Though use sometimes the "real"
samples, it is even more interesting to layer or develop interesting
voices starting from "flute" sctratch.
Would like to know others experiences with it.
Interesting links from SOS, as starting point.
