"High-End quality sounds for 128 instruments at a surprising low price."

Feature:
Bandstand has its own onboard MIDI File Player. Going from MIDI to WAW is so wounderfull easy.

Value:
Yes, I think so.

Desirability:
I love that product. (I do not work at Native Instruments)

Sound:
As you know sound is very subjektive. When we talk about GM2 sounds these new 128 high quality samples are the best sounds today in my opinion, considering the price.

Ease of Use:
The interface is so intuitive just drag and drop the instruments into their cells.

Support:
The priority of updates could have been better.

Overall:
Better sounds in future

About This Product!
Description
Bandstand plays MIDI music the way it should be played. Its unmatched sample-quality and ease of use establishes a benchmark far beyond conventional GM modules. Intuitive sound mixing tools and exceptional effects deliver flexibility that make Bandstand the ideal tool in a wide range of situations.

Unrivalled Sound
Bandstand combines a state-of-the-art sampling engine with over 2 GB of professional samples and 128 instruments. Warm basses, tight drums, sparkling guitars, lush strings, resonant pianos and many more high-end sounds -- the pristine quality of the samples included raises the bar considerably.

Easy and Intuitive
The clearly structured and intuitive interface neatly balances the highly advanced technology within. Great care has been taken to ensure that Bandstand is both simple to understand and easy to use -- the perfect tool for compositional tuition at music colledges. The Quick Edit bar ensures manipulating sounds is effortless. Support of all standard plug-in formats equips Bandstand for sequencer-based production work while the stand-alone mode lends itself to live performances.

An Accomplished Player
Whether it's your own composition or an all-time classic, Bandstand injects just the right sound and the integrated MIDI file player delivers the performance of a lifetime every time. Adjusting the mix or replacing instruments is easy. High quality effects, a loop function and groove quantization allows a personal touch to be added -- Bandstand will change the way sound modules and GM are perceived.

The samples were crafted by the NI sound design experts. A selection of specialist companies also contributed to the outstanding Bandstand sample library.
