So I've had 

  • Ancient ERA Persia (originally Dark Era, but since I got Groth earlier this year, might be not necessary)
  • Forest Kingdom 3

on my shopping list for the past six months or so.

The only thing I'm worried about is Best Service's own player as I haven't heard too many good things about it.

Anyone got any experiences with either library?

Engine works...despite it's non resizable GUI that looks like it came straight from the 70's
with micro-fonts...but it works.  The Tarilonte libraries are very good...

I have all of Tarilonte’s Era libs. They are in a class by themselves and worth it, regardless of the player. 
 

Persia is great, Forest Kingdom 3 is even better (one of my favs). I use them both regularly. In particular, FK3 is my current goto for ethnic flute sounds. 
 

As for Engine - the interface is ancient and clumsy, but its otherwise perfectly useable. I’ve never had any issues with it.

I just wanted to add my experience here. I just purchased Forest Kingdom 3. The install instructions were a bit convoluted but I got it all running. It seems to introduce an instability in Ableton (edit: maybe). Also, the UI is ancient and very difficult to read on today's displays. All in all I found it a painful process and couldn't rectify the crashing so I respectfully asked for a refund.

I hope they honor my request.

Also, I would love to have this library and if they ever release it in a more modern engine I'll purchase it again.

 

EDIT: To be fair - I'm not certain it's this engine causing the issue in my Ableton project - trouble-shooting now to determine but I have to keep checking on the smoker. :)

Regardless, the UI is just too hard to try and deal with so I'm still going to try and get a refund.
