general midi should use 16 instruments at the same time.

I haven´t use the sts for a long time now.
But I remember that there are some sf2 or other gm sets in the internet. Try to find one and load it into the sample pool of the sts.
That should to the job.

Convert the one that came with Gigasampler to STS. It is rather good IMHO for it has more memory attached to the samples, and then compressed for low memory usage.

Thanks,
But sds loads only 16 instruments right ?
So you have to manually always unload reload new instruments ?
Also which Gigasampler files are you reffering to ?
Thanks again,
Regards,
Dimitrios

it's probably the Connexant Lib - mine came bundled with GS96, Gigapiano and a soundcard for 60 Euro or something like that
the single instruments are a boring sh*t (and you'll probably tell yourself '...what a waste of memory...'), but they seem to back arrangements really(!) good and sit nicely in the mix.
cheers, Tom

1 instrument per midi channel, but they can be activated by program changes from one of the 127 entries preloaded in the 'sample pool'
