I played around with LCOT quite a lot yesterday and a bit more today, and the library definitely has things it wants to do. Timbrally it has range (voice, strings, mallets, piano, etc) but that range is perhaps less developed into distinct varieties than would be optimal. I think this is where the impression of "lack of variety" comes from.
Still, variety can be had. Attached are a couple of noodles that came from trying to get at some of that variety. Waiting for an Answer uses only LCOT. The other two add various strings, which could use some more programming work, as could finding the optimal reverb. But here's the thing: I could have gotten similar, probably for the material in these noodles, better results from other libraries I have. That's often a problem when you step outside a library's sweet spot.
I may try some noodles that are more in line with what the library wants to do. My sense is that this will mix well with BDT. So that may be next.
