Hey all, just wondering if anyone could recommend a professional grade midi module that boasts some of the best orchestral sounds ever recorded.
Thanks!!
Thanks!!
Although check out the East West libraries - from what I've heard they are pretty indistinguishable from the real thing.

..........To me, success depends on the arrangements, articulations etc as much as the sound source.
Before I weigh in with a suggestion,take a listen:

You might get a little shocked by what I tell you later on.

Don't mean to be blunt, but sorry, that didn't fool or impress me for a second. Compare that to the Kirk Hunter Emerald library and it's not even close.
It sounds like Yamaha. Sometimes thats a good thing, sometimes not. The brass sounds are punchy and synthy, which works in pop but not classical. The xylophone was good but its easy to get a good xylophone sound. The pizz strings were good, the arco strings werent. Still, it was a nice arrangement
Well, I was talking specifically about the sounds, to which the arrangement is arguably secondary. Now, the performance of those part is another thing. I agree with the brass, they were obviously synthesized to me. The low brass I found a little better than the high brass. And yes, you're absolutely right - legit playing in general takes the edge off of the tone.
I generally find that pizz strings fool me the easiest.
Sounds good. Its a good arrangement. As far as the patches, they are basically what my MM6 has.
