Hi Jean-Paul
Thanks for this reply, and I'm sorry you can't use this expensive non-runner.
I'm sure you'll agree with me that on listening to the samples, for this and
also for the Philharmonik orchestra, that the sounds are excellent for their
price range. I've been trying to listen to anything I can find, and so far they
beat most.
It looks like we've hit a dead end if the company cannot make it more
accessible. I don't know how easy it would be for scripters on the list to
devise workarounds - I'm fairly convinced if more people heard the quality of
this extensive sample range, for both products, thenthey might feel a desire to
try to make them accessible for the blind community. Perhaps HOT spot clicker
could help here.
Comparing the Garriton Personal Orchestra, Synful Orchestra and thisIK
Multimedia's Philharmonik orchestra, for me the most lively and authentic was
the Philharmonik.
At present it looks like we'll have to make do with something less.
Here's a suggestion: perhaps on the list people could post and someone gather,
a list of accessible sound synths, rating them for quality and realism. Some
who are more daring and who try ones they like the look of, might just happen
to stumble on some new accessible ones.
Regards.
Gordon

Hi Gordon,
last year I bought sample tank (300 euro in France). It was impossible to use
it. The help of friends didn't give any resultat. I sent a message on this list
but I got no answer. At last I wrote to the team of multi media. The answer was
that there are no short cuts. I must say that the synth sleeps in my computer.
I would be happy if somebody had something new about this sample tank.

Hi
Further to my last email I've just come across the IK Multimedia site with
a variety of what seem to me excellent sound synths, the two most interesting
being Sample Tank XL and Full Philharmonik Orchestra. Both of these are the
best I've heard. They are VST plugins. The site is
www.ikmultimedia.com
Has anyone used these - if they are VST should Sonar and Band In A Box have
any difficulty in accessing them?
Do they relate to GM - do VST plugins need to be remapped? If so, how?
Sorry for all the questions, but I must say I'm impressed with what I've
heard and would like to purchase these if usable.
Regards.
