Just to play devil's advocate here, I do understand what the reviewer means. There are relative degrees of "cheesy".

For instance, Microsoft's GM sounds are "cheesy" when compared to ForteDXi.

However, ForteDXi, while being a fine product, has a MUCH smaller sample set than, say, Vir2's "Vi.One" or Stephen Slate Drums, both of which I use with BiaB.

So while ForteDXi sounds "good enough" for most applications, the two Kontakt instruments I mentioned sound significiantly better, so perhaps ForteDXi could be called "cheesy" in comparison.


It's all relative and depends on your point of view.
