Sascha, Thanks for the Nord instruments. I tried them out and found some useful things. If you decide to create some of the other synths from samples on the site be sure to post them, I would be interested in those as well if you decide to create them. Some time I would like to upgrade to exs24 however right now I could only afford exsp24.
