I've just downloaded it and deleted it in record time. Honestly. Saveyourselves and hide.

The big warning comes when you see the virtual keyboard stretching outat eight octaves. Surely to jeebus they haven't stretched the notes outto make them extend that far, have they?

Er. Yes they have.

Surely though the samples will be high quality and well recorded, withminimal tampering?

Er. Nio they are not. The strings/brass combination sound like theyhave been compressed through one of those dreadful little radioearpieces you could buy in the 1970s that turned everything into thesound of a fly in a jam jar.

Heavens. They at least they have sampled every note on the keyboard?

Er. No. The voices and Chamberlin cello samples have the familiarsqueak of interpolation about them, even within the 35 note range ofthe originals.

Honestly. This shit isn't even worth the ten day trial period. Avoid.Avoid. Avoid.
