Noel96 and Matt,

Thanks for your replies. It's sad about still having to wait for 64 bit, because in addition to the plugin compatibility, all of the RAM that many of us have with Win7 machines is sitting there, unused by BnBox. I suppose a RAM disk may be of some use.

Don't mind my instant opinions about the new jazz styles. It's based solely on a perfunctory listening to the audio demo's on the web. It's not that I don't like them, simply that they do not sound all that different (in the demos) than the existing ones. I had hoped for some really different sounding styles. The Bolero styles were really fantastic for example and truly new.

In any case I bought the Plus Pak + Bonus 2, and I may change my mind once I start playing with the new Jazz styles. I was very, very glad to hear that the new version boasts of better compatibility with Garritan JABB. That should be really good. I got that going one time, but found it the switch back and forth cumbersome. The velocity fix should make a huge difference too.

The Legato Strings feature is one I'm really looking forward to trying.

The User Tracks are potentially extremely nice, but I don't have buddies who play the instruments that I would want for accompaniment, but a pgmusic web exchange would be great.
