Orchestral Flavours kicks off with an impressive selection of multisampled hits in major, minor and diminished keys, as well as in unison, before treating us to a selection of lovely hits with glissando. If sample replay synths have given hits a bad name, this collection should do a lot to restore your faith. Various string hits follow, as do sustained strings, string arpeggios, sustained chords, tone clusters and a large selection of orchestral percussion. The latter included timpani, snares, rolls, cymbals, gongs, triangles and castanets.



The sounds available here are better than on some premium-priced sample CDs I've heard and are beautifully recorded.
