Comments: After German company Masterbits issued the original version of Orchestra, customers requested percussion, and this was duly added.
Standouts: Strong timps, great gong crescendo roll, and although not strictly orchestral, an interesting set of deep log drums. You also get an orchestra tuning up and people applauding — so all you have to do is organise what happens in between!
Quibbles: Orchestral cymbals (piatti) sound a little apologetic.
Contact: Masterbits.
