GSi Genuine Sounds is a collection of high-quality instrument samples created on the basis of a very efficient and unique proprietary sound engine from GSi called WLF – Wavetable Linear Format. WLF Engine provides the highest performance with minimal memory usage and processor load, which allows you to achieve high polyphony even on less powerful devices. All sounds included in the Genuine Sounds collection are professionally sampled using proprietary software and hardware.
With the release of Genuine Sounds Volume First, we at GSi are thrilled to introduce our new technology to the world, offering some of the finest acoustic and electric pianos we’ve created to date. We sincerely hope to continue in this spirit and release more collections dedicated to other instruments in the future.

Closed the program and re-opened and license request went away. Allowed downloading all of their keyboards samples and locate on a different drive. Total of all samples came out to 48GB. Also has a feature to remove any of the samples you don’t like.
Came with standalone version too. Not sure if it is running in demo mode or not.
Setting says running in unregistered demo mode so I don’t know if it will time out or not. License code?
1st launch of stand-alone brings up demo,
…use Task Manager to task kill it, relaunch.
The program is strict about its library download path of
C:\Users\*you*\AppData\Roaming\GenuineSoundware\GenuineSounds
so you may want to MLINK that out of your C drive
if you don’t want the full 48 GB there.
Out of the box is zero voices included.
To test drive it, individual selective download is a choice,
try instrument Combo 5: it’s only 107 MB.
If you choose the first item on the list, it’s a 4 GB piano.
File extension for each instrument is a single file with .WLF extension.
At time of comment, I got FULL-throttle speed download from their server.
vst3 loads fast and performs with low CPU use.
= A keeper!
