Still doing the midi modules route. I use Showplay like bandit11..ver 6.67. General Midi format. Primarily for live use...been using it since ver 3.1. Very steady and dependable, but with limitations. Got 7 or 8 GM modules. Anything from Sound Canvas, SC880, M-GS64, Ketron SD2, Yamaha MU100, Kawai GMega,etc. Best overall sounding module to handle the bulk of my material (Nat King Cole to Bruno Mars) is the M-GS64. I may have to tweak the drums up a little to give the midis a "live" feel but that's about it.
I've been looking pretty hard at the V3 Sonority GM module...anybody heard of this?
