Feature:
the Kompact player helps to keep the loading of sounds quick. i would recommend one the player per group, as an example: put all the strings to one stereo instance of the plugin, then another instance for horns,etc. the steinway sound btw is excellent as well as the orchestral sounds
Value:
i would give it a 10 if I could authorize on ilok, but that choice is not available.
Desirability:
if you do orchestral, you want this,
Sound:
excellent sound, very realistic, responds well, expressive, must get used to the use of the sustain and mod wheel as you'r,e practice will help alot. Recommendation: get 2G RAM on your computer. dont' use a computer pre 2005, don't use wet sounds, keep to dry sounds,
Ease of Use:
easy to use once you practice with the mod wheel and sustain. make sure you upload the latest!
Support:
slow turnaround when I wanted to re-authorize my hard drive on another computer.
Overall:
10 if I could have ilok authorizaiton.
