Some of this is definitely from not being tightly chained by the Kontakt environment. Layering, creating hybrid kits, a variety of different mallets/hits for many instruments, etc. > The overall flexibility is unmatched from what I've seen of others. > The amount and variety of instruments is on another level, and so far every sound is top notch with completely realistic round-robin and articulations. Very easy and intuitive to use for the most part, and I'm still learning about how deep OP itself is. You can very easily do an entire mix inside the plug-in, with high quality plugins and a mixer that looks/runs like a smaller DAW-style mixer. Praise the lawd!!!! The Superior Drummer interface is really great IMO. > IT'S NOT IN KONTAKT and instead has an intuitive, smart interface dedicated to the instrument itself. > The sounds are stunning, and the huge room tone blends quite well with orchestral libraries I have. (Btw, if I remember right, those are still on sale for a couple of days.) If I was bathing on money, I'd prolly get Cineperc for the sound and flexibility if wanting to upgrade from EWQL. I also have Spitfire Perc, but the hall makes it quite hit or miss- the dry mics sound quite sad compared to the huge hall mics.which, of course means, that you will be married with the hall since the second you open up those mics. Sounds a bit like something between EWQL and Cineperc, and the interface is really good as well. That being said, I just bought the Strezov 3XM a couple of days ago and it is also a really good bang for your buck straight out of the box. But if you want a bigger sound out of it, you'll need quite some mixing. But it is indeed really good, especially for the price. I'm a huge advocate of a smaller and more "classical" sound instead of the epic-trailer-my-kidneys-are-exploding type of superprocessed distorted mush, but I have to say even though ROP is very good, it's partially so small and apologetic for even my taste that I tend to use it rather rarely.
