I do also use synths and ROMplayers for most of my sounds. However I use EXS
for better orchestral samples, choir and authentic instruments like
Wurlitzer, Crumar, Solina and mellotron (although M-Tron is also quite nice,
but that's a sampler too!). I never found *good* orchestral samples in a
ROMsynth or modules (no, not even in a Proteus or the Roland Expansion
boards). Just try to find a string sound with a real attack for fast
repeating passages... Even the new Korg expansion made with sounds from
Siedlaczeks orchestral library that had to be compressed like hell to
squeeze everything in a 'few' megs, don't sound so much better than any
other ROMplayer sounds.
