I also write with a Fantom and have been doing so for years, but often times the sound itself affects what I write (I usually arrange as I'm writing) and it only takes a few extra seconds to load a sample. I can wait and that's usually when I take a drink of coffee. I do understand the logic behind quick access to instruments in order to flush out an idea, but I'm not nearly as inspired by the output of a Fantom. Or Motif. Or Kurzweil, etc. The mere quality and realism of an EastWest QLSO arrangement gets the adrenaline going and pushes me harder. I can tell where it's lacking and where it's finished. I couldn't imagine scratching out an orchestra on a keyboard then later adapting it over the samples. The mere changes in articulations alone - getting them fixed - would add at least an hour, if you're quick.
