Ok, I do realise this might not be the right place to give a review of anything that doesn't say Emagic or even EXS24 on the box, kvr is a better place for that, but since I personaly burned down Stylus right here a couple of weeks back, I'll do it nonetheless, in short; 1**I stated Stylus would be a Recycle clone, it is NOT. It's named groove module and that's what it is. Some might say "Hey, duh, why can't I put in my own loops'n'stuff, huuuh...?" Well, I now clearly see that it's not Spectrasonics' intention to sell a clone of Recycle, as said, it's a module, not a sampler. None of the synth/drummodules that I own that came in those heavy black metal cases and need power and all kindsa cords loads samples, so... 2**Get this: besides all the amazing loops you get to use to your liking, there's also (and in my opinion lots more fun): 1000 Kicks 1000 Snares 1000 Hihats 1000 cymbals 1000 claps, snaps, fx, percussionthingy's, you name it! All this alone I would have easily paid up for, because: **Soundquality: O M G !! truly very very high standard, lots of the sounds you get here are in stereo, major fun. Think Emu as to bottom end and hi definition. ...Man, I was being pretty ignorant taking the piss outta Spectrasonics....All is taken back herewith and to all of you who are in any way doing something with drums (....) I HIGHLY recommend this fantastic piece! Have fun, OlavB
