Thanks - sounds  good! The site must be getting hammered as I can't link to it! As there have been no Sine Instruments for a while I thought they had come to the end of their freebies!

Hammered is right; I will wait until later to try and get this working.

Ditto. 

 

Could be the greatest sounds on earth, but that company...nevermind.

Well that is one thing about OT libraries.

I get why they did their own player so you can buy a piece at a time.

Kinda odd but the library was already installed.

I read reports in a forum describing latency issues for Mac users.

However, there are also several reports of win user that report no latency issues with Sine Player.

Can anyone confirm this?

Sine works well on Windows

Muchas gracias, Esteban.

The entire library is now downloaded and installed on my PC

. I'm very surprised by the good sound quality of the samples.

I haven't noticed any latency issues so far, but I haven't tested all the libraries yet. In my opinion, this is a very good orchestral library for Windows users.

Hmm, for me Sine crashed a lot on Windows 10, so I uninstalled it.  I've haven't tried it on my new Windows 11 systems, so maybe it would run better on that.  Then again, I found Sine to be counterintuitive and frustrating to use, so probably not.

In that situation I would have done the same thing if I were you.

Then I'll correct or clarify my statement:

Sine, or rather the orchestra, runs on my Win 11 - Intel i7 12700k PC without any problems so far.
