String Doubler - inexpensive legato string library

[Yossarian]

It's been around for quite a while but I haven't seen it mentioned here. As the name suggests, the intended use is for layering with other string samples but judging from the demos it does pretty well on its own.

Here SD is being used in a mix:

and here you can hear it in isolation:

It doesn't have any variety of articulations - just your basic, sustained string section but at $19.95 for the downloadable version (around 80 MB) it sounds like pretty good value. Available for GigaSampler and Kontakt. There's also a CD-ROM version for $34.95 which has a couple more formats (EXS24, Soundfont and Akai S-5000).
