More than NI might want to admit. That said, Reaktor Session comes with 35-40 prebuilt instruments, and each instrument has many sounds ready to go. It comes with a large library of wave files built into the instruments, but they can be extracted and reused elsewhere. I think the method to that madness is that NI creates enough usability out of the box to get users really turned on to create more. Then the library comes, which benefits all the users again. I'd love to see that happen with one or more of the Linux tools. I simple don't have the time or interest to become a programmer. When I turn on my PC and try to write music I need tools that get me there faster. I don't want to spend an hour grabbing blocks and wiring them together. By the time I get that done I've lost my inspiration for making music. I may be the odd man out around here. I'm not sure... - Mark
