zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Feature:
No effects so theres not many features.

Quality:
Its a plug in!

Value:
I guess its a good overall value but I would save up and grab something a bit better.

Desirability:
Not very sexy!

Sound:
Dont buy this for the piano! YIKES! Piano is really bad! Strings are nice.

Support:
Havent used him.

Overall:
I just dont like the way its laid out, Thats just my opinion ofcourse. The piano shouldnt even be there its so bad, The Roland Edirol Orchestral is much better and you can get them for $79.00!

Feature:
the Kompact player helps to keep the loading of sounds quick. i would recommend one the player per group, as an example: put all the strings to one stereo instance of the plugin, then another instance for horns,etc. the steinway sound btw is excellent as well as the orchestral sounds

Value:
i would give it a 10 if I could authorize on ilok, but that choice is not available.

Desirability:
if you do orchestral, you want this,

Sound:
excellent sound, very realistic, responds well, expressive, must get used to the use of the sustain and mod wheel as you'r,e practice will help alot. Recommendation: get 2G RAM on your computer. dont' use a computer pre 2005, don't use wet sounds, keep to dry sounds,

Ease of Use:
easy to use once you practice with the mod wheel and sustain. make sure you upload the latest!

Support:
slow turnaround when I wanted to re-authorize my hard drive on another computer.

Overall:
10 if I could have ilok authorizaiton.

Feature:
Sparse. Bare-to-the-bones. Too few options to deal with system incompatibilties.

Quality:
Pure crap! It crashed within minutes after installing it. It only ran smoothly in spurts. It wouldn't work at all with my ASIO sound card.

Value:
It's not worth the headaches for the money you save.

Desirability:
Ugly farting duckling.

Sound:
Not bad. Some sounds are above average but not great.

Ease of Use:
Pain in the a**. With such a basic layout and few features, you would think that it would be a cinch to use. Instead it's clumsy and illogical like most of Kontakt plugins.

Support:
No help at all fixing my problems.

Overall:
I will DEFINITELY replace it.
