While the sounds included are quite good the amount of octaves available are very reductive and unrealistic for a learning tool. Also the UI includes all the demo articulations. Not useful and not being able to hide them is very counterproductive. Solo instruments are a very nice touch with very good sounds.

As just retired with ostheoarthritis in hands (hard to play) I started learning daws, plugins and sound libraries in order to have fun and enjoy making music. I´ve tried to make calm athmospheric modal-type jazz and Jobim-like bossa, too, and have found that I can use SSO´s instruments in that work very easily. Although SSO Discover is clearly a teaser to buy the full SSO, for what it has inside I can learn wonderful things in digital sound. The quality of sounds, in my opinion and having not much experience, is so good.
This is peak
I love this simple free library.
sound is great. but as it s free, there's not a lot of instruments and articulations. but i was seduced. i wanted to buy core or pro on thomann.com where it was with a good price (june 2 th) but it was sudenly more exepensive. I ll wait for a better price (summer sales, i hope)
Everything!
Tremendous sounds here. Have used them on 3 rough sketches and love the character and tone. The majesty of the big room is a big component here. I'll definitely purchase the Intimate Strings package for a closer mic more textured counterpart. Highly recommended!
I love the quality, the options and the realism in this one. Its lovely
Excellent quality. Professional, fine sound. A delight to compose with and a joy to listen to.
It sound great, works perfectly with dorico
i love it...
Download didn’t work
Excellent!
Sound library is very usable. Same as my BBCSO. But the Spitfire Audio app is way too old, buggy, stupid and does not update the plug-ins. There is no overview those updates or version numbers. Only some update info for the sound libraries themselves. You have to use the REPAIR function to hopefully update the Plug-ins. No info. No versions. No nothing. This is not a smart way to do it. I have reported this years ago, no updates.
Instruments seem pretty thin.. not very dense (samples) quality.
The best in the industry.
It doesn't work on my PC
Too good to be free
App not working
as someone was requesting help with this library, I decided to install it to assist. It became clear that with only two articulations, something not made clear in the introductory video, it is really VERY limited and I quickly removed it again. Of course no match for the full SSO which is my main go to orchestra and which would get 5 stars. Yes the Discover version is free but it's surely only designed as a taster for the full product!
