You surprise me! this title as been out for a month! I am not talking about 
the old one, I am referring to the latest EXS24 version please check this link 
out below:
http://www.soundsonline.com/sophtml/details.phtml?sku=BS-382 (copy&paste),
then tell me if you are talking about the same title?  AFAIK it is one the 
very few Orchestral EXS24 native format around (not plugin, ie; kompakt).

I have been talking budget and efficiency, could you please name some Brass 
titles/bundles as cheap and complete and versatile as Project SAM or QLB?
(I use both and they complete one an other). 

At last, I don think that most of the people who request advice here are able 
to spend around $1000 - $5000 on the VSL ... Do you?

EXS24 native format -- sounds encouraging.  Can anyone comment on how
well this library sounds for jazz/blues/rock arrangements, for slow
pop arrangements, and how much work it really takes to use the library?

Cheers,
Larry

Hi Larry,

Thanks for your interest (since this is the one I promote ;-)): Peter 
Siedlacsek AOE with "97" upgrade, all in one package EXS24/Halion NATIVE FORMAT, the 
new release, the one nobody knows about:-) Yes, it is new and reasonably 
priced.
THE DOG'S BONE!!! (I am sure you get me)

It sounds great, the articulations are fantastic, it terms of "control", I 
dont' t think that you need more than what it offers ... (not talking legato 
tools/VSL...I know/we all know).
For Music style? My answer is (my answer, I say!), it depends the way you 
write or program your Music (your soul and heart... To make it short, you ever 
have the "Funk" or you don't:-) 
You can't buy the Funk ;-))) 
You can play some serious Jazz even with a plastic flute! (@ $1 each)
Ok, yes, it has got the Punch and the realism ... (AOE I mean)

Gino
