1. Sampletank 4 Max
Not because it sounds bad, but I have no use for most of the stuff. The good old sales trap, so it was my fault.
ST2 and 3 was nice and I was a great fan of the original Miroslav library, it was my first vsti orchestral library.
The Miroslav update 2.0 contained to my surprise the complete version 1.0 with some fixes and there were patches with keyswitches now.
But no legato, not even something like a fake legato. some patches were nice but I had some new libraries I liked better.
ST4 Max was a real challenge to download and install. And the included Miroslav 2 CE was also completely in the original Miroslav 2 Update. Not a single new sound, even no legato. Well, it was only one part of the package, but it doesn't have to be recycled that way (if you already have Miro 2).
The ST4 player is also not very resource friendly and there were some strange bugs. Meanwhile, the installation is no longer on my work disks. I didn't miss it either.
I didn't like the organization of the browser very much either, so it was a bad buy for me.
Yes, because I´ve had them already in the Miroslav 2 update. The CE2 is only a slimmed down version of the full version.So have you auditioned all of those sounds? Miroslav CE takes a lot of work compared to just about every library.
yeah, same with me.
Yeah, sure! the library is cool. A lot of potential there. I made this with it:We need a Phobos support group. As in, emotional support.
Christian Henson's demo was brilliant, and the library sure seems full of promise, but the usability is still super rough. It's mostly just missing better preview capabilities on the sound sources and IRs. Full of gems but super hard to find.
I don't own many libraries, (Yet. >.> ) but the most disappointing one in my collection would have to be EW's Voices of the Opera.
Not even because it's terrible - I've used it to satisfactory results - but because it doesn't do what I expected it would. When I heard the demos and heard the phrases, and I thought; "oh, cool! A soloist library with word builder!" Which was quite silly of me, but hey.
Which is why I’d say that for the present it’s a good idea to temper your expectations. We’re not yet at the point where word builders will allow for distinct words, but for a general choral feeling of singing something with nice tone, they do the job.I recenty bought Virharmonics Soloists of Prague which is a soloist library with wordbuilder and was kind of disappointent. It does exactly what it was advertised to do and is by no means a bad product. But it is impossible to get these right. Solo Voiced are problematic, wordbuilders as well... To combine them in a realistic way seems hardly possible.

Cinesamples Solo Strings.
Expected Tina Guo Legato levels of quality and expression. Turned out to be a library which i never use.
I'm surprised by this. I have it and i think the violin 1 and cello in particular are some of the most convincing solo strings available.
It is a frustrating library in terms of the jumble of articulations and the fact violin 2 and viola didnt get as much attention or the expressive legato that the violin 1 and the cello get.
I have the finger ready to click, but then I think I am not professional and spend so much money in a library will make me feel a really bad and poor manJXL Brass. Oh wait, it's not been released yet.
I want to buy a Komplete Kontrol S88 so maybe is better keep using Kontakt libraries...

Just looking for a keyboard with 88 keys and decent keybed. I thought the KK88 is a good choice having the Komplete 12U. Now I have an M-Audio Code 61 that is... not really good.Why do you want to buy one?
decent keybed
