EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

What you are missing is good sample libraries.  I own a XV5080, a JV1080, an
FS1R, a Waldorf MicroQ and several other synths.  However I turn to my
Gigastudio and the EXS24 more than anything else because the sample libraries I
have are unparalleled.  That's not to say that I don't use my synths, I use
them all the time.  But they do not compare to the samples.
