from my point of view, GM is there to stay.....BB is still a GM program with a vast array of midi libraries in his arsenal, the Realtracks are just another option . For studying and analyzing parts, GM is still the one I use, and I suppose it is so for other people too....let's not forget that BB is also an instructional product, and I am not going to throw away it's incredible MIDI library of tunes, lessons, etc. If people spend almost 500 dollars on a Ketron SD2 , they will spend half as much on a soft GM synth too, providing that it really sounds killer.

If a product is good, price becomes relative to it's quality.... I am not saying that a soft GM module should cost 500 dollars, but if it's a really killer one I would spend up to half as much for it. The Forte DX, etc......been there, done that. I am talking killer GM sounds, not just decent ones. Only the latter type is abundant.

If anyone else would be interested in such a product, please write in this post.
