True, I can only load up 1 instrument.
I could spend some time researching about 15 other programs that can load VST, that are free, but I don't have the time for it right now.
Multi instrument is something I can use in Kontrol, either for quicker switching between instruments, or layering.
I mostly use it for a single instrument, and hope I have time between tracks to select another wind instrument if I need to swap it.
From an SD card, the instrument loads within 2-4 seconds anyway.
I get that Reaper is better. The Evaluation version can be ran indefinitely (past the 60 days), but I'm not too keen on too much knobs on my desktop.
For live play, I prefer simplicity.
One program that is extremely simple, is the original Akai EWI USB Garritan software, with the advanced skin from ewiusb.com.
The skin worked well on netbooks, but devices nowadays have higher screen resolutions, resulting in the skin looking very tiny on my 1080p laptop screen.
