Good sounds, especially Strings and '88' (Pianos). However, when attempting to play fast, repetitive Brass patches, the sounds get cut off. Also, there is at least one bad sample in the Flutes patch (e.g., E above middle-C) where the attack is cut off upon playing with medium or greater velocity. Percussion crashes frequently upon receipt of MIDI (e.g., played key).

Having grown frustrated with Mainstage's sluggish performance, I purchased GigPerformer [v1.? at the time...now at 3.6.1] for Mac and was impressed by its responsiveness, as well as its user interface. GP's superior memory management allows me to load a large number of Rackspaces (each of which contains one or more plugins) and select (either separately or as part of a Song) via mouse, external MIDI controller, or iDevice (using OSC)...instant playability; no lag or hiccup. GP is easy to navigate, and its performance is rock solid. Although primarily for live performance, I enjoy using it in the studio: the Rackspaces/Songs I configure for recording can be reused on stage...no problem sounding like the record...same sounds and config.
