I've just downloaded it and deleted it in record time. Honestly. Save
yourselves and hide.
The big warning comes when you see the virtual keyboard stretching out at eight octaves. Surely to jeebus they haven't stretched the notes out to make them extend that far, have they?
Er. Yes they have.
Surely though the samples will be high quality and well recorded, with minimal tampering?
Er. Nio they are not. The strings/brass combination sound like they have been compressed through one of those dreadful little radio earpieces you could buy in the 1970s that turned everything into the sound 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 familiar squeak of interpolation about them, even within the 35 note range of the originals.
Honestly. This shit isn't even worth the ten day trial period. Avoid. Avoid. Avoid.

You are misreading it.
I think those demos they provide just have to be the biggest bunch of cheese I've heard in a long time. Truly delightful. I just wish I had some crackers to enjoy with them...
