5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic value and quality, November 26, 2007

MOTU's Symphony is fantastic. There may be better Orchestra plug-ins that will come out as time goes by and for all I know they'll be in 5.1 surround and take up 500GB on your hard drive, but for $300, I'll take the 8GB worth of sounds MOTU offers. All of the instruments sound beautiful, and even the hard-to-reproduce instruments such as saxophones, church organs and solo strings (violins, etc.) sound almost too real to be emulated by a sampling program like this. Effects like glissandos and trills are included for these instruments as well. The only disappointing sound group is the choir; it's perfectly serviceable for minor oohs and aahs along with a huge Wagnerian orchestra, but upon close listening, you can tell it's a keyboard. E for effort, though.

Like Ethno, my favorite feature is the ability to load up 64 instruments and activate/deactivate them on the fly using an assigned key on your keyboard. Since some of these instruments have multiple playing techniques, it comes in really handy.

I have never been able to get this worthless thing to work. $300 down the tubes! total WASTE!! RUBBISH CRAP!!! The worst part is the iLOK thing (worst idea ever!!) totally broke and now they want $50 bucks for a new one? I mean, it takes up an entire USB port so that it can run a license for one [crappy] program. As you can probably tell, I am not happy. Boycott!! DONT BUY!!! NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO
