I'm looking for a good collection of natural-sounding instrument plugins. Nice vibraphone sounds, organs, natural pianos, saxes, horns, etc.
Is there one package that I could buy that would have all of this? I haven't looked into it much.
To be very honest, even though Ableton 6 has some great sounds, I find that the "real" instruments incuded with 6 sound a little digital and synthy. (But maybe that's the point of their stuff....)

You could buy the symphonic cube?
Only 9,000 euros and has a good selection of instruments.

The standard samplers for such things is Kontakt from Native Instruments and HALion from Steinberg (the Cubase guys).
Both comes with big libraries and are pretty expensive.

Try IK Multimedia Sample Tank and/or Miroslav Philarmonic Orchestra. Should do the work, demos available. They have a Workstation Bundle at a very good price. Keep in mind that Mac Universal Binaries are still late, because only Miroslav is available. All will be available in January 2007. For a Win PC all is available today.

Did you mean the EIC sounds?

Can't say enough good things about Colossus.
You'll need about 32 gigs of disk space for it, though.

NI's Bandstand is a good alternative if you want something cheap.
