"Very dissatisfied. Stick with Orkester."

Overall: 2 out of 5 stars

Most disappointing, this package is way more Dr. Rex loops than sample files; completely useless for those who wish to be original. The few ensemble string samples are okay, however they still sound very synthesized, and are doubled at the octave, which leaves less room for subtlety and can cause problems if you intend to score it later for a real ensemble. Violas are once again neglected and over-shadowed by Violins and Cellos; there are hardly any Viola samples. The solo strings don't compare to Vienna by any means, but they're decent for the price; still sound like samples. There are no harp samples; only DrRex-- again, useless. The only samples I really liked are the pizzicato and a couple of the synthy string pads, but they're not worth the price of the entire package. Overall, I still find Orkester a much reliable ReFill package.
