EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

I have no idea what the response (below) means, but I am not sure how it 
is at all responsive to my point that Apple buy EXS functionality (it 
isn't exactly rare...e.g., Cover Flow).  I also don't know what you mean 
that Redmatica "doesn't have to prove itself."  Who was suggesting it 
does?  And what does that have to do with Apple?  I was acknowledging 
that Redmatica has good products and has stayed in front of the EXS 
curve better than Apple has (does anyone disagree with that?)

As for Nick's point on price, I don't get that either.  Does price 
always go up when functionality is added to software? (not often).  The 
issue for Apple is cost:  does it cost more to develop functionality 
internally or buy it externally? 

Of course, this all depends on whether Redmatica would like to partner 
with Apple in such a way.  If so, then Apple should write Redmatica a 
check and be done with it!
