My favourite pack so far is the Cinematic Collection, which has some really dynamic 'orchestral meets sound design' stuff going on that will nicely complement my East West stuff.SampleTank® is a registered trademark property of IK Multimedia Production. Sampletank also comes with excellent effects using technology from T-Racks, Amplitube and CSR Reverb and such, and I find a lot of the sounds can ba made very usable by putting them through an effect treatment. Some of the sounds are a bit basic if you're used to high end stuff like East West Quantum Leap, but you can't beat the price (and it's easy on the CPU).

Cognition - Sampletank Cinematic Demonstration.mp3

Sound sample of me improvising with some of the presets in 'Cinematic Collection': (if you input 'cognition' as referrer we'll both get esoundz points) If you get it from Esoundz you get 1 additional expansion pack (about 1gb) with 'exclusive' content. You also get to choose 5 (hopefully soon 6) expansion packs with sounds from Sonic Reality. You get Sampletank 2.5 which is not feature limited in any way, except you only get a 1gb library of sounds with it. For $49.99 (or down to half of that if you have IK Multimedia jam points to spend)
