Hello Lorenzo!
For the GigaSampler there were a few Garritan products, I seem to remember,
that they were quite nice. they definitely had some strings,I know one of the
LinuxSampler guys used those strings in a piece.
Beyond that: I know, that sampletekk has a nice set of orchestral brass,
which suite me fine, even for not so orchestral work. But then I'm stomped.
There should be a second hand market for the old GigaSampler/GigaStudio
products, which have gone out of sale.
Besides that I'd say Wine and VSTIs, or perhaps someone has experience with
Kontakt samples, they are en vogue now, I believe.
Kindest regards
Julien
