I agree, Michael. Hey, nothing's perfect--not Vienna Instruments, not Spitfire Audio, not Cinesamples, not Project Sam, and certainly not Kirk Hunter. But dollar for dollar, this one comes up on top due to its combination of sound, usefulness, and flexibility. Mr. Hunter should be congratulated!

Re: Big thumbs up for Kirk Hunter Virtuoso Ensembles.....
Hi, listening to the demos. i don't own this software. I'm sorry if I offended anyone, i just felt like I was in one of those Emperor's New Clothes moments. Just an opinion of course.dbender wrote:Is that based on your having bought it and actually played it? Or is it based on trying a demo? Or is it based on listening to the online audio demos?tbrianmann wrote:Guys you're kidding right. This is horrible, nice interface for sure, but sound is primitive and organ like in response. Don't understand your like.

A: "Yes, OSX 10.8 will be fine. As long as you can run Kontakt 5.3.2 or newer, you are ok." per Kirk Hunter support.
