Relaunch Today Spitfire Symphony Orchestra (Strings, Brass, Woodwind, Percussion, Harp & Piano)

[Henrik B. Jensen]

- Woodwinds don't seem to include performance legatos? Hopefully it's just an oversight in the manual

They didn't before either.

 

[Raphioli]

I'm not sure if they're going to release a Pro version.
Because the Outrigger was previously included in the Pro version.
If they were thinking about releasing a Pro version, I think they would have only included CTA mics in this version.

I’ve never complained. I love marketing hype and believe CH was a born genius at it.

Me either. I always rather liked the old somewhat over the top, everything is a game changer marketing. It made releases into events. Which to be fair was also very manipulative, but it could also be quite fun.

 

[doctoremmet]

I view this as a compact redux, just my fancy. Bought it.

 

[Lassi Tani]

Can I update from Mural 1 to this?

 

[ummon]

Ooh... that is less promising...
However, it might be that they will do a new pro relaunch later on, which DOES include these mics*
(i hope so anyway)

*free for current owners of the older (available till today) SSO PRO/Complete
(i am not going to pay twice for things i already have)

It seems likely that they will offer missing mics and mixes at some point. I wonder how many times SF has already offered those extra mics since the release of Mural.

Let's talk money.

At the intro price, this is the same cost as BBCSO Core, which has less content, sampling detail and only one signal. Even at full price - there's not going to be a vast cost gap between the two libraries.

So...does this now make SSO the "budget option?"

 

[Spitfire Team]

I'm assuming brass and woods do infact come with the performance legatos as it says it in description but looks like they may have accidently left the performance legatos out of articulation list for brass and woods.

The question is, what are the differences if you own all of pro.

You get new legatos. That's all.

well there are still quite a few mics (and mixes) left, to reintroduce in this new format.
Maybe it will be offered for a little extra money (addon).

Also, the complete had additional instruments (Scraped percussion, Aluphone, Steel Drums etc)

Three demos from Spitfire's Blake Robinson for this new SSO *)

And a new one each from Andy Blaney & Paul too!

*) not to be confused with Blakus, see below!

 

[TomaeusD]

The original SSO is officially gone. No way to get Pro now or avoid Kontakt 7.

 

[twtyler]

Literally just purchased SSO last week for $999 so...yeah.

 

[dunamisstudio]

I had to play SSD space Jenga, but got it almost downloaded. I'm kicking myself now for not buying a SSD around Black Friday.

 

[RogiervG]

You get new legatos. That's all.

And some mics are missing (and the Jackson mixes)

 

[AMBi]

Kinda bummed they discontinued the main libraries for this even though it seems to be an amazing package.

Been wanting Symphonic Strings Professional a lot lately, but now I’ll forever miss out on the Gallery Mics and Special Mixes

Three demos from Blakus for this new SSO

Those new demos would actually be the other genius Blake Robinson (they are indeed different people)

 

[Petrucci]

That is Quite a Suprise! I hope that JJ mixes will be added later down the road cause they are so good, using em all the time. Also hoping for SCS to be there some day..!

Oh!! Sorry for the mix-up!

I edited the original post to avoid confusion!

 

[studioj]

I hope Time Machine patches are retained...
