depends on the kind of genre you're using it for
Depends on:
1. Whether you are going to sequence of play live
2. Whether you are going to do it via a keyboard midi controller or electronic drums
EW MOR is more geared towards sequencing. Toontrack is geared at both - sequencing and electronic drums triggers. If you are a drummer, I would suggest Superior Drummer. You can add on expansion kits.
I'm not a drummer, and I use SD2.
Hey Likui,
Kinda saw u played at Pump Room last week with Jive Talking. Finally get to be onstage with yr teacher Addy eh?
Looks like you are more to Joe Satriani's kind of performance.
Thumb's up
forgot to ask : what are you going to do with your purchase? purpose? what do you aim to achieve from it?
No, SD doesn't do more than MOR. Take a look at the interface and you'll understand. MOR is geared more towards an arranger sequencing with a keyboard. SD is targeted at the drummer who has his PC hooked up to his electronic drums. They do the same thing, but approach from different users perspectives. SD also has lots of expansion kits and continues to more kits - ie it's expandable of which MOR is not. However, SD is also great for people who sequences with keyboard, which is why I'm using it. FXpansion (suggested by Kongwee) is also an alternative similar to SD which is geared towards the drummer.
There's also personal preference. I'm not that keen on East West's PLAY engine. However, if all my softsamplers are in PLAY format, I would get MOR to optimize loading of multiple instruments. But as it is, I'm using Kontakt.
SD is better, there is drum mixer to simulate live mixing.Same for FXpansion. For professional studio, they will buy as least two of the same kind.
For MOR, mostly you looking for a specific sound. If you have a sampler(Giga,Sound font,EXS....), you can look for some free patches.
