Anyone got this in their Command Station?  Any comments on the 
quality, variety of sounds?  Or do you know where I can find audio 
demos of it?
Thanks,
grimley

This may be early, since I just put it in mine today, but I am pretty 
impressed by it - lots and lots of perc, pretty good plucked 
instruments and some nice bowed ones and OK winds - but I am a wind 
player and I am never very happy with any wind samples, ever, so take 
that with a grain of salt. Playing thru the presets is a gas, I can 
tell you that.
A great ROM methinks!

I don't have it, but my friend does. 

The percussion is done well, but I didn't like the sustaining instruments at all. They sound really 'ROM'-y and inauthentic. don't think that acoustic instruments can be done much justice within 32 megs of sample space.
