Plugsound Pro still doesn't have the brass I'm looking for.I sampled my Motif XS favorite Brass Ensemble patches though,and use them in Mach Five 2,which can then be read and used in BPM. Waveframe also is a nice compliment though,I use this to stack/layer with my XS patches in Mach Five 2..
I really wish that Otristan would allow for users to use our own Mach Five 2 presets inside UVI workstation though,by design it won't work. I think it would be better for sound designing of course,I really like UVI workstation it's extremely fast.. As far as Halion Sonic,I don't miss it yet,perhaps when Steinberg starts bringing out libraries I WILL GET IT AGAIN. So far my main tool though is Mach Five 2,this allows me to design the kind of larger then life Brass Ensembles I love. hope that makes sense.
As far as value and sound quality though comparing the two, thats an easy one for me,Halion Sonic is very good,but overall sound tone quality I like UVI stuff.I think they spend a heck of alot more time using better conversion,higher end equipment,and their samples/sounds translate very good.In the end I think the old sayings true,you get what you pay for.
