The NOTION Music Sound Expansion Kits allow individual users to customize the sound library of their NOTION software. Some kits simply provide additional playing techniques for existing instruments, while other kits add completely new instruments into the mix. These kits are manufactured separately so that you don't get stuck paying for sounds you'll never use.
