Good point about GM. I use a Ketron SD4, and even the stock GM sounds are great. The higher banks, though, are really super, and relatively easy to get to with BIAB. As I occasionally gig with a WX7 I was forced to go with the more expensive SD-4 just for the on-board knobs to change patches. I used to HAVE to go the clumsy route of modifying them via BIAB.

I guess I posed this before, but I am hoping (after the Win 8 release) to purchase a tablet with enough gusto to run both BIAB and a killer soft-synth (sample player.) It seems Kontakt is a leading option, but its interface seems way over-kill to me (who just wants to load a bank of samples I could select from) and change melody instruments (as I'd used Real Tracks) for any rhythm sections.

Any thoughts? I realize GM was a nice standard in its time, and still useful for run-of-the-mill stuff. I would like to see a compromise for those if us who are not audio engineers to just load and play a killer bank or two.
