Er, my comments are still applicable. A wind ensemble sample set should not have the same characteristics as a band sample set, because the doublings are not going to be the same. In a wind ensemble you're going to double with one or two or three players on a part. In a band you could have TEN or TWENTY. How could the same sample set handle both of those? -- David W.
