have a Mac G4 running Digital Performer 3.1 and an Emu E4 sampler as well. What is the best product for me?

If you are looking for Indian instruments patches/sounds/plugins that you can load in Digital Performer, you have options:

a) Either use SwarTrax for loading Indian instruments patches on your Akai compatible software samplers like Kontakt, EXS24 or SampleTank etc.

b) Or use SwarPlug through a VST-MAS adapter.

You can also use SwarPlug in Digital Performer. By itself, DP3 doesn't support VST plug-ins or synths, but it can with the help of some third-party MAS adapters that act as a 'shell' or environment in which the VST synth runs. The most useful of these is Audio Ease's VST Wrapper v3, which costs a mere $49.95 to download from www.audioease.com. AudioDesk users also can use this VST Wrapper 3 for supporting VST plugins.
