In Big Bang Orchestra: Neptune, the “tutti” ensemble of all the woodwinds brings together 13 musicians with their diverse instruments, from the piccolo to the contrabassoon. Recording the rich and colorful sound of these heterogeneous instruments as a group is ideal for showcasing the delicate...

My favorites so far in the BBO series include Jupiter, Hercules, Dorado, Neptune, Orion, and Musca. All of these titles sound incredible and will get a lot of use.
Suggestions for VSL
Lyra is very good but I wish you could balance the mix between violins and violas so you can shape the tone. Izar is excellent but I wish there were some alternate cluster choices as it’s fairly specific. The low notes in Andromeda sound absolutely amazing, not sure why I don’t feel that way about the high register range, but those low notes are riveting!!
Black Eye sounds terrific but I wish it offered more sounds. Fornax also should include more sounds and the drums and piano patch needs to be rebalanced as it has a lot of potential, too much drums and not nearly enough piano.
Eridanus and Capricorn are phenomenal but I wish they included way more riffs.
Ganymede is very good, a few more sound sets would be nice like add mmms and ooohs.
The Synchron Pianos are so spectacular that I don’t see using any other piano again unless I need a niche sound. The Bosendorfer Imperial and Yamaha pianos are must buys IMHO.
Synchron Percussion I & II sound amazing and are also must buys IMHO. Let’s hope there’s a Percussion III in the horizon with ethnic instruments and a few missing staples.
Synchron FX Strings I and Power Drums sound fabulous, praying these goes on sale again.
Excited to hear Synchron Woodwinds and Brass when they appear!!
Have not heard Synchron Strings yet so I can’t comment.
