To answer your question, Whitten: it’s not so much about the competition, but the fact that Toontrack made fully working, professional drum triggering software and deliberately made it external-ONLY!
Those other two are (correctly) internal plug-ins, so you don’t have to waste a day exporting/importing MIDI and wave files! It utterly confounds me why they chose this route and charged a premium price for it. No offense intended to Toontrack, but it just bewilders me. They’ve got everything else….now they make…pianos? instead of a proper, internal drum trigger? Would it take that much to adapt the code to make it an insert? Bizarre.
