I don't know what to think of these... some of what I hear in the demos sounds great. While the technical walkthrough is very convincing and the library seems great and easy to use, the moment where the individual sounds get played, I'm less impressed. What do you guys think or is the low comment ratio already a form of an opinion?

Sonokinetics approach of recording in a concert hall as opposed to a scoring stage is very interesting to me. The decca tree sounds mighty fine to my ears. Articulation list and the patch organisation/customizeability both look good. I don't need ensemble winds, but the whole series is definitely one to keep my eyes and ears on. The bassoons sound very good here, I'm less sure about the flutes and clarinets though. An individual patch walkthrough would be nice to get a better impression.
