I was just wondering which expansion option(sounds) would you buy first?

The AL-1 is already a great onboard VA, so I would get the MOD-7 FM synth, first.

When you can afford it, I definitely recommend LAC-1, since it has its own kind of VA flavor, plus you get 2 synth engines (PolySix and MS20).

EXs3 Brass is pretty good, but the factory ROM already has a decent base of brass and woodwinds. The low price makes it a no-brainer, though. If I was forced to choose, I would actually get the Karo Philharmonic Strings, before EXs3, but that's me. I use a lot of strings in my soundtrack compositions. If you need an emphasis on saxaphone and brass, then get EXs3, first.

I solved my dilemma by getting all of them. :D

Got all 3 as well - but looking back my "first one" would have been Mod7, if it would have been available back then. :wink:

Funny... my first option would be the LAC-1. I guess to each their own!
