That's totally malodorous. I've never used the EXS24 on a PC, but I'm 
running six times that many voices on a dual gig G4. If your 60 
voices are stereo, I'm still getting three times as many.

People complain about the present version of GigaStudio being long in 
the tooth and only getting 160 voices. Something is rotten in 
Australia.
