Arturia V Collection 4
$399 USD
Bottom Line:
All told, I think this is a great collection of superb analogue synthesizer emulations. For the price, it is simply amazing value
Project Sam: Orchestral Essentials
Bottom Line:
…as a solid collection of basic orchestral ensemble sound, this really is one of the best available. Though you’re paying a premium for the Project Sam name, it puts you squarely in the pro market
Kirk Hunter Studios: Virtuoso Ensembles
$299USD
Bottom Line:
Virtuoso Ensembles also is an instrument that develops the more you use it. Once you become familiar with the workings and feel of the samples you find more and more interesting ways to use it in projects
Toontrack EzKeys
From $220 NZD
Bottom Line:
From an idea brainstorming perspective alone, this is well worth double the asking price. I’m not aware of anything on the market that even comes close, so for grassroots songwriting, this is the best investment you’ll make
Sample Logic Bohemian
$300 USD
Bottom Line:
I do highly recommend Bohemian, which by far is my favourite of the current selection from SampleLogic. Every producer should have a good sounding and flexible pad collection in their toolkit, with Bohemian, great pads and atmospheres are only the tip of the iceberg
