Early adopter here. This instrument sounds really great! Easy to play around with.The ergonomics is just fabulous. Much easier than the other PSG library that went out of business. I haven’t gone through it completely, but I can see this is going to help me in my recordings requiring a steel guitar lick or two. In my mind, this fills the long awaited need for an instrument that has been overlooked by the sample library industry. Kudos to Dimitris and Impact Soundworks for getting this created.
