EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

I think it's unfair to compare digital bits to wine :), 

but the manufacturer of this product determines the conditions under 
which the user may USE his product. And what I've understand from 
this discussion is that the YT manufacturer sees the YT product as 
undividable, so the software-interface + available sounds *must* be 
used as 1 product. So it's not the question what technically is 
possible to separate or manipulate. The question is 'how does the 
manufacturer wants us to use the product to its orignal intention 
(producing sound/music)'. 

So to some degree, yes, the manufacturer tells us what glass to drink 
from....and has the right to (due to a license agreement between 
manufacturer and client/user).
