I have implemented significant updates and enhancements to the software only to warrant the name change to FLR2005. In summary the changes include:

forte Ensemble update to version 1.5.78
Live - Styler update to version 8.0.21
Cakewalk Project5 to version 2
Cakewalk Sonar to version 4
Kontakt to version 2 includes many new voices or instruments
Added 32 GB Quantum Leap Colossus which includes 14GB GM Bank.

I have not fully tested this new system since most of the software only arrived yesterday. It seems this system will be ideal for studio and club work. It takes about 15 seconds to load the massive instruments for the accompaniment. Kontakt and Colossus are GM compatible. Also, I will continue to use Kontakt for my Melody or Lead vocies. However for other live performances I will continue to use LiveSynth Pro and soundfonts which load instantly for the accompaniment.

I will complete the testing in a week or so and let you know what I find. The initial test run indicates a very reliable system.....and it sounds awesome.

The FLR2005 Arranger System is expensive and is not for the faint of heart when it comes to installation. You should try it. You are worth it!!!

I am excited.
