A Little Bit Of Everything

The quality of samples are Top Notch !! They are organized well in many different folders and Soundmorph gives you a sizeable selection of their main sample packs into one pack. If you aren't sure about some packs or just only need some but a variety ones L.A.Grit pack would be a great one to choose from.
