Hmmm .. this is an interesting statement, even though it is quite vague.

Who is it that determines what the "standard" is? Must we have 20  
velocity layers, round robins, close and room mic positions in every  
bank now? (Just playing devils advocate here ;))

There are problems/details in the process of sampling that no matter  
what software you are using that are not easily solved - like  
recording quality samples to start with, EQ adjustments (which  
requires good ears), dealing with the quirks of whatever instrument  
your are trying to sample, the list goes on and on.

Also remember as far as importing instruments made from Keymap to  
other plaforms - it all depends on how well the *other* platform can  
import EXS data. This is something that is totally out of the hands  
of the folks at Redmatica, unless at some point they decide to  
support a direct save to other formats.

BTW .. I'm not in any way knocking Keymap. It is a fantastic piece of  
software, and the support from Andrea is nothing short of amazing.  
And if you are thinking the price tag of Keymap is a bit too high, it  
is easily made up for in the tech support area!
