Another drums library, Variable Ambiance Drums contains 1300 samples (24 bits) in 7 velocity layers. The demos are not so apealing, far less than famous Stormdrum or the new Reason Drum Kits 2.0.

10-27-05 / 11:05 PM : Back on old Korg N264/N364 (cjed)
Back on a ten year old Korg workstation, the not well known N364 (i remember having readed its review on Keyboards mag). Mid-way between the previous 01W line, and later Tritons and N5, it wasn't so attracting. However the factory demos sound punchy (notably the second, MissionMan). This good site also provides phrases of best factory presets.
We can then listen to custom demos made on it, here.

PropellerHead, famous editor of Reason, presented Reason Drum Kits 2.0, a giant drums samples library (11 000 samples) for Reason. The result is amazing, probably better than EastWest/Quantum Leap's StormDrum. The demos available are interesting, as well as the video presentation, very pro and funny.

Yamaha gets rid of its MSP monitors line, for the new HS line, that are presented as better successors to the legendary NS10M. Therefore they bring up the well known white speaker, besides a white front power led. They are available in two models (powers of 70W and 120W), and can be complemented with a bass power module (150W).
