24-bit sampled HSO-2 should offer more dynamic range than HSO-2 16-bit samples, it’s just a simple fact.
Most high-end orch. Sample libraries are sampled at 24-bit resolution these days, hopefully HSO-2 will be offered in 24-bit, if they want to also offer it in 16-bit as an option, that would be fine.
I wonder how long it will take to develop HSO-2 ?
