Don't worry about it. They have exs-24 program files on their website.
All you need to do is convert the Giga files when you receive the
library and then replace the converted .exs files with the Project SAM
.exs files. All the programming has been done for you. They sound
fantastic. Actually all three are excellent (Horns, Trombones, and
Trumpets).
One thing to note as well, they were planning a 'native' package with
the horns where they would ship the converted samples with both .exs
and Kontakt versions on the CD (probably not the GIGA files though).
So, if you don't need the GIGA files, these may actually be ready. I
believe that there will be a small crossgrade fee ($40-50???) if you
get the GIGA version and want to replace it with the native version.
Also, Soundsonline.com has a sale on right now where you may be able to
get them cheaper. Details are at Northern Sounds forums under the
EastWest section. Check here at
