Stayed away from Symphobia, as I already have (and prefer) similar Spitfire stuff.
But I do recommend the Cremona strings in KUCE. Love the idea that those fine Italians stopped traffic to record them in that quaint little Stradivari town.
Yeah, they come with MIDI stuff.
Actually, if you already own an EZ Keys library, adding another instrument now only costs $40 or so.
But I get your thoughts on those Spectrasonics FX. Don’t know if I’d buy an expansion for that reason only, though. And I guess they’ll get added in with Omni 3.
Got both, Zo. Wouldn’t say there’s a lot of tweakability (though there surely is some) but the recorded and curated sounds are really worthwhile. Still, these are quite different from “standard” EZKeys piano sounds, which means not all MIDI packs will be perfectly compatible. But the same could be said of their pipe organ and their string machine. And some MIDI packs are actually dedicated to sustained sounds.
