I have never heard of XSample before, but that solo strings walkthrough video above sounds fantastic to me, and they seem like incredible products. I also managed to find some demos on the website, in other orchestral families, e.g. woodwinds, which also sound fantastic. But the website is a bit of a disaster (sorry!) - Hans Josef, can I suggest if you were to employ someone to produce an English-language version of the website (not just overlay pop-ups) and to restructure and re-word the website so that the product structures, dependencies and pricing were simple and clear, with links to walkthroughs for each product/product family, simplify everything, and carry out some more marketing, I think you could sell a lot more of these products. You've obviously put an enormous amount of work in to them and they sound fantastic to me and they appear to have huge flexibility/playability, and so I think it is terrible shame that it is so hard to find out about them - it seems to me that your products deserve to get out there and compete with the best of the libraries on the market.
While the problem with many libraries today is over-marketing, it seems there is an opposite problem here - too little marketing - I don't mean marketing in the sense of creating a demand to persuade customers to buy things they don't need - I just mean providing simple clear information about the products so people can become aware of them and understand them and decide to purchase or not. I don't think I would buy these products because I don't understand what I need to run them etc, what other products may be needed first / what the combinations are etc (I'm not looking for an answer to this here, I'm just illustrating why I am reluctant to purchase - it's a problem of information/confusion, not quality). I hope I haven't offended you, I'm guess I'm just trying to say these products sound great and deserve the best chance they can get.
