The thing about SonicCouture is that they are not normal instruments for the most part. I mean, other than the Hammersmith piano, so they don't really compare with what you have. I guess it really depends on what kind of music you do. They are pretty much all Kontakt instruments. At least I think they are all Kontakt. As I said, the first thing I got was the Xtended Piano. You should listen to the audio samples. I like all the various things that are in the Box of Tricks. It usually doesn't go on sale that low in price. I think the last sale it was $139. So for the money, that might be the best deal at $109.totheatom wrote:Great insight. Thanks!dzilizzi wrote:I'm having a hard time not grabbing something. I love their stuff, but it is different.

I have the Xtended Piano - it makes a lot of great sounds that are different, including piano SFX, a bowed piano and muffled piano sound. I think there is plucked too. You can get a normal piano sound out of it, but it is not a great standard piano.
I have the Broken Wurli that has a really good Wurli sound, then you turn on the broken speaker and it gets really interesting.
I bought the Conservatoire Collection during the last sale and haven't really used it much. It is a lot of great sounding old time instruments. I just haven't had a song to use them in yet.
If I already have Komplete 11 (not Ultimate), Omnisphere 2, Keyscape, Trilian, and Cinematic Studio Strings, which of their products would you most recommend to fill a gap in my library? Bit of a silly question, I know.
I've also heard good things about the XBow Guitars, though they sound more like other instruments than guitars. And I think if you do cinematic or game music, the GeoSonics could be very useful.
Although the Vintage instruments are great, I think you are covered between Onmispere, Keyscape and Trilian. Based on what you have, you probably should go for one of the experimental instruments.
