Resource forgiving orchestra (brass, woodwinds, strings, percussion, piano) for $30. (Normally $300: 90% off for
the next 2 days as I type this.)

***Requires Full Kontact Retail 5.7 or newer***

Can play dry (add your own acoustic space or reverb).

This (along with Reaper for $60) is the best non-free deal I have yet seen.

Quality, expanse, "cleverosity" at a ridiculous price point.

If you need an orchestra for sketching or maybe even if you don't, this is awful cheap for these sounds.

Enough said.

I picked this up several years ago. At a price point ~3x more than current. But that is the way it goes with this stuff.

I have always like it. It is fun to just play with. Unfortunately getting it into ones own music was never easy for me. I have used some of the great tympani in the package (there is actually a ton of sounds) in my music but soring ensembles of orchestral brass and woodwinds and strings does not always fit. But like I said, I liked it, so I still have it and poke around with it at times.

I have had this for quite awhile also. If you are looking for some sweet orchestral sounds and you have the full version of Kontakt this is a no-brainer IMHO.
