“ We must imagine Sisyphus happy,” he tells us, for the absurd hero is able to carry out a life as meaningless as eternally rolling a boulder up a hill and find enjoyment in it anyway. I did hear that their piano pack was great as well but I think I plan to get something like Synthogy Ivory II or VI Labs Ravenscroft 275 for piano (that's my instrument c:). I don't mind a download or install that's a hassle I would gladly put in the effort to get it working for my needs. I did read that SONiVOX's support isn't the best. I haven't heard of Garritan before (I'm fairly new to this field of virtual orchestral instruments) so I looked them up on Youtube and I think the user interface is pretty cool and looks convenient for Garritan Personal Orchestra 5 (perspective of a newbie) since I haven't really seen any other UIs before. For GPO5 at the cost of $150 (half the regular price of SONiVOX Film Score Companion), I'm amazed at the cost/benefit-you get 500+ sounds. I'm currently downloading the trial version for the 5 collections from SONiVOX Film Score Companion hoping that the UI is just as intuitive and that their sound is good.

I'm more concerned for quality than quantity but I don't have any experience with real orchestral instruments so my ear isn't that trained.

However, I'm still looking for a bundle that offers a wide range of instruments and that won't be missing any important smaller role ones. I'm leaning towards the cheaper sale price of the SONiVOX pack to learn from but if the GPO5 bundle is recommended over it then I'll go for that. I will upgrade to Orchestral Tools's Metropolis Ark 1 (costs €549.- on their website) eventually I hope.
