Welll - personally I can perfectly understand the reasons for sampled
synths:
- You may not have them by yourself. Valid for me.
- They may live up when being used along with the EXS filters and Logic's FX
section. Again, perfectly valid for me.
- They use up less CPU resources as some VSTi clones of the originals.
Defenitely one of the most important points for me so far.

In the end, my opinion is somewhat like 180\ufffd opposite as I can just say that
sampled synth sounds are one of the reasons I like using samplers. And I
can't see much difference in using a sampled string library compared to
using a sampled synth library. More to the opposite - while sampled real
instruments will still leave you with the problem of how to play/program
them (drums, strings, basses, guitars etc, anything not played on keys
originally), sampled synths are played on a keyboard - just as the
originals.
