Doug,

My comments were generic regarding modelling vs sampling (raised by Mark when he suggested that samples were best). I was not debating whether B5 was better or worse than anything else.. if that's not clear to you then perhaps you need to reread my comments. I was simply pointing out that sampling technology was typically not as good as modelling technology (as far as I am concerned this is absolutely true). Even Hammond Suzuki is transitioning to modelling technology from sample technology (although their newest product is a hybrid).

Same thing with my comments on the price.. they are absolutely true and accurate, and for the record I run a 64 bit DAW and have no problem running VB3 and most other 32 bit VST's using the bitbridge that comes with my DAW software. It seems to run and sound great.

Again, here is the last paragraph of my post.
>> I'm not debating GSI/VB3 vs Acoustic Samples/B5, because I haven't used B5, and it may very well be based on some spectacular samples and sound better than VB3. I'm just trying to clarify a few things, based on my experience.

Whether or not I own or in depth knowledge of B5 makes no difference, my comments stand.
