The Scarbee's are very detailed - fantastic samples. I'm finding the combination of Scarbee's samples + Kontakt is very flexible and it sounds just great. Plus you can script and apply some nice effects and cabinets from within Kontakt. I think the Scarbee's are better for Rhodes, Wurlitzer
and Hohner by a pretty wide margin.

There are quite a few instruments in EK that Scarbee hasn't sampled (yet :) )
- EK's are sampled well, and very literally, maybe to a fault. But the fancy shells to the sample groups in EK doesn't give them any more functionality, and some more would have been great. For example the coolest things about the Yamaha CP30 were the ability to adjust the sustain, and to set the two sets of stereo voices it had slightly off pitch for depth, particularly when chorused. -- It would have been much cooler if MOTU had had longer sustains as an alternate set of samples - wondering if that could be adjusted if one had the full Mach Five? Adjusting ADSR just doesn't do it....

It'd be interesting to hear other reviews of EK...
