really good product-would be great if it had a way to add random offset and pitch deviation to samples so it can avoid the machine gun effect.
Browsing and exporting are top notch, sequencing is good but i lack the ability to add different time bases to different samples-it would be useful to have a HH pattern in 16ths and kick and snare patterns in eights, for example.
Ideally, the offset would work for individual notes, not the whole pattern.

Even though i ended up using it only for browsing and creating very simple loops, i'd buy it again as it does those things amazingly.

The absolute best solo instrument Vsts when it comes to both sound and playability. No sampled library can come close to the realism and expressivity.downside is a relatively steep learning curve when it comes to controlling your instrument in real time but the effort is more than worth it!
using traditional mod+pitchwheel is rather cumbersome but i found it really easy to play with an MPE controller or a combination of classical keyboard and a Touche.

an amazing collection of utterly unique and beautifully weird plugins.

it is so good it actually made me invest in an ambisonic setup.

dont get me wrong, the spaces and grains plugins sound amazing in stereo but with 4 speakers i can just play a single note and enjoy the sounds for hours.

id like to upgrade to 8 speakers but thats another story.

Hollywood Orchestra Opus Edition Diamond

great sounds, really good engine.

the orchestrator is very powerful and can inspire you to play things you'd probably rarely think of.

only problem is the download process as you need more than a terabyte to install everything so if you want to place everything on a single 1tb ssd, you'll need to use another disk in the process and copy and paste stuff but it's not such a big deal-provided you have space.
