Well I never liked Zoolook, but I admire the early sampling from Peter
Gabriel and Kate Bush.

Personally I've resisted to buy a sampler for "how long are they around
now?" -
but I'd love to find out what massive amount of memory can do to
typical ROMpler applications like (unlooped) Grand Pianos or Church Organs.

I have that old Kawai CA600 home piano here. Not impressive sounding anymore
at all, but still having these nice wooden keys. I should find out how this
works with
a really good set of samples. (And I bet I'll still love my real Wurlitzer
better - but
that's another thing entirely.)
