It's in the qualifiers you use that leave me with the most doubt. And, while I know only too well that the ENGINES of most modern VSTi's are better optimized for live play, that doesn't mean that the samples themselves, and their balances especially, are, at least as far as what we expect from an arranger. Even you qualify that, and even add that some arrangers themselves leave you wanting (I agree here, the fluid seamless transitions of the old Sound Canvas days are long gone), so I would only ask you, is there ONE VSTi complete soundset (we won't even TOUCH the issue of what you do when you use multiple soundsets from multiple sources) that covers ALL the bases, that you could use as the single engine of an entire soft arranger that is as well balanced as a Tyros or Roland? To be able to switch, on a whim, from any sax sound to ANY clarinet sound and not have to move a fader, change your touch, or anything?
I personly use NI KOMPLETE in combination with KORE as the base of my softsynth and i must say that the different parts of KOMPLETE and the individuall samples are reasonably ballanced.
Basically this package gives me the all in one you'd want as a re-placement of a hardware synth or arranger.
