    I did in fact download the whole thing, over
several months in sessions lasting hours on dialup,
beginning in the fall of '03. And for the sounds I got
from those samples, it was absolutely worth it. In
fact, I liked these sounds so much, I licensed them
for my own Reason and Wusikstation products from
Dangerous Bear Underground. 

    But, this was an expenditure of time and effort
clearly worth far more than the extremely fair if not
modest price of these discs, which didn't exist then,
but I wish had. And that's before the time and effort
spent on translation and programming. At $55 a pop,
you're actually making money on buying these things if
you cost out your time and labor. All that, and EXS
programming by Sascha, the man. I like my NNXT
programming for the Dangerous Bear ReFill, but the
sounds on the new discs are amazing.

    It would behoove anyone who wants good synth
sounds to buy these discs. I personally plan on
collecting the whole set, which at the price they are,
and including samples not available on the website
free service, are an absolute bargain compared to the
time and effort I spent downloading in the first
place.
