EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

Hi!

What´s the best grand piano samples anyone uses the EXS24 for? I´m 
talking pro quality here.

I´m thinking of trying Halion or Kontakt together with the gigapiano-
samples, since these samplers can import the gigasampler format, 
which EXS24 cannot. But I´d rather use EXS24 because I guess that 
would be more solid/bugfree together with my sequencer Logic. 

Thanks in advance

Since Steinberg's "The Grand" is such a memory and DSP hog and only sounds
REALLY GOOD at it's highest-quality setting, I'm considering making it into
an EXS instrument at some point soon. Theoretically, it would be pretty easy
because I can sequence all the notes at exactly the precise velocities to
get what I want. To get The Grand to work properly, I had to slow my
soundcard to 6 milliseconds from 3 in order to eliminate ASIO crackle. It
really is a pig (yes I have 1.5GB of RAM). So an EXS instrument would be a
really nice option. Although not perfectly real, The Grand is the best
sounding piano, other than a real piano, that I've personally heard.
