Cinco de Mayo translates to a very special $5 Sale at eSoundz!
It's a very special $5 sale TODAY ONLY May 5th, 2015 at eSoundz in celebration of Cinco de Mayo. Load up on R.A.W. and RMX Style Pak groove libraries, Sonic Refills for Reason, Kapsule Infinite Player libraries for Kontact and individual SampleTank 2 libraries for just $5 each!
Thanks again, JS. I checked out the sale items and all the $5 items just didn't cut it in the audio demos. There wasn't anything I didn't already have a better version of but I am glad to have joined the site since there does seem to be a lot of more interesting, albeit higher priced, items I might require in the future. I like the navigation in the site as well.

Hmm. I may have messed up then. I'm out of town and using my iPhone for the net and didn't bother listening to the audio demos. I got the World thing for Stylus RMX thinking there'd be something useful. It was so cheap, not a big deal if it ends up a bust.
You never know. Sometimes just the right sound can only be found wine of those less than perfect instruments. Sometimes I have to dig into my Emu ESI32 disc loaded into MachFive to get a specific sound I can't find anywhere else. I just hear anything in the Kontakt libraries I needed. Heck, $5 might get you. Latte instead and where will THAT end up?

Haha. Reminds me why I still have my ancient Ensoniq EPS16+ module. There's one instrument on it I just love called "Miami Brass" and so far haven't found anything else quite the same.
I wish I still had my extensive EPS library. Ensoniq was one of my sponsors in the 1980/90s and gave me 2 EPS keyboards and 3 EPS racks and the complete library in exchange for screen credit on a major international project. Eventually they were on an external HD but I replaced all that as the years rolled on. I still want my Ice Spinner back and the key switching on brass articulation still hasn't been duplicated. Great stuff.

FYI: The sale is still in effect as of this morning (Friday, 5/8). Picked up a couple titles. Nice deal.

I may regret it, but I bought them all. It was right before a flight and I just got back a bit ago so haven't downloaded or tried any of them yet.
I had initial regrets, as I hadn't taken the time to check for redundancies, but as near as I can tell, none of the packs is part of either the core Stylus RMX package nor the add-on suite (cheap) that many buy right away.
Although they ask which format, my understanding is that one purchase gives you access to any format. Stylus RMX seems the most advanced and flexible to me, but many here don't own that product. I'm not sure which of the other formats would be the recommended format for those people.
