Hi OldSchool,

Yes, I have Orchestral 2. Personally, I love it. But I can't compare it to 1 whihc I;ve never heard. I went straight for 2 because I really wanted all the Celtic and other odd sounds it contains.

Someone here criticised it for that - which is fair enough - those sounds probably should live on a World Sounds card (how many orchestras have you heard featuring a bhodrum, aoelian harp and tin whistle?).

I love those sounds, and also the beautiful strings, brass, woodwinds and 'traditional' orhestral percussion sounds whihc abound on this card.

But in truth you should really get an opinion from someone who is familiar with both cards...

All the best.

Martin
