A good and absolutely cheap voice library that includes many instruments of an orchestra.
The several violin voices sound most convincing and authentic. The cello's are irresistible real with a persuasive timbre. The clarinets, flutes and oboes are lovely and have a nice vibrato, wich approached the vibrato of the real instruments very close. Most convincing are the orchestral sounds, very beautiful deep strings and ensembles in many varieties, at least 45 voices. A little disadvantage is that some of the voices (like violin) don't use the whole keyboard , although the key range is sufficient.There's also included an easy user guide wich indicates clearly the controllers that can be used.
I didn't know this is all possible with a Motif XS! There's almost no loading time, because the voice library doesn't use new samples. I hope more relative cheap libraries like this will appear soon.
A real must-have!!!

At only $39.95, the samples contained in Symphonic Suite can give sound banks that cost 3-4 times that much a run for their money! There is good variety, excellent quality, and many thoughtful articulations controls assigned to the AF switches or even to velocity! There are several samples in most of the string, woodwind and brass categories covering solo, section, fast or slow attack, large or small ensembles. The concert Harp is one of the best I've heard, and comes with excellent gliss arps. There a great feature on the concert guitar voice that allows for either major or minor chord strumms at the push of a note.
For anyone looking to achieve a sense of realism in orchestral tracks, this inexpensive voice bank will not disappoint. Highly recommended!
