Just had a look Donny...
a) One can download these free most anywhere on the internet.
b) I play almost all of them as live style files which again have been around the internet for ages.
Choice is yours, though...

Yes they are all available BUT at what quality? many stink.....yea they sound like they are good on paper until you load them & play them.....what this guy should do is offer DEMOS of his product.....so people can hear them & make a decision if they are right for you.....I myself prefer using style files also lets me be more generic..and there also is the availability concern....I'm happy with Yamaha styles at the moment, best selection of styles & aftermarket also IMO.......
SMF certainly have their place, & I have thousands many which took a long time to sort out and edit....there's a delicate balance between the two which is required to make it all happen for the right situation.

Buyers seem to be satisfied with their purchase; that should tell you something. No SMF is going to be perfect for everyone, so expect to tweak some here and there.

I'm just wondering if these are his originally made files or is he basically reselling things he has accumulated and maybe edited.

Just read the product description...

THIS IS THE RESULT OF A LONG TIME OF SEARCHING AND WEEDING-OUT OF THE GREAT FROM THE RUBBISH WHICH IS OUT THERE CALLING ITSELF 'PRO'.

He is reselling SMF's which already exist (and probably many of them are Tune 100, etc.) in the public domain.

a BIG THANKS to Mikey Maestro - you know why! You're a great guy!!!

BTW - I would hazard a guess that I and many others have the same or BETTER versions of those be offered in the UK. So, if you need something, just ask.
