I am a logic user who is simply salivating over these instruments, but i've gotten extremely mixed messages over whether EXS24 versions of them exist. I'm interested specifically in the Prog Pack and the Novachord.

Hollow Sun website cleary states the available formats for only certain libraries, I think. So, not all libraries are available in EXS format. And I've heard that Hollow Sun plans to be Kontakt-only in the future, mainly because of the improvement that scripting can provide

I no longer support EXS24. I announced this in my newsletter about two months ago.
It's a shame but the bottom line is that they didn't sell and it's pointless me wasting time and effort and resources supporting a format that doesn't sell. The same applies to Akai S5/6000 format and also Alesis Fusion. I now concentrate on Kontakt which is by far and away (for me at least) the most popular format by a HUGE margin.
And Mr Dragon is correct - the possibilities that Kontakt's scripting offers allows me to sell products that extend way beyond just sample libraries but actual instruments with GUIs optimised for the instrument in question. I have already dabbled with that with, for example, the String Synths, VP330, CP70, Vox Continental, HSDV Drum Synthesiser and others in Kontakt 3.5 but Kontakt 4 takes this to a new level with some very exciting possibilities.
That said, any stragglers still wishing to buy EXS24 libraries should contact (kontakt?!) me at steve at hollowsun dot com to make arrangements as I am keeping them alive for a limited period until they are discontinued for good.
Cheers,
Steve
