Symphonic Choirs

When reviewing the original version of the software, Sound on Sound reviewer John Walden called the quality "magnificent" and believed it was suitable for hobbyist, educational and professional markets. Audio Pro Central felt that the software was expensive, but still cheaper than hiring an entire choir for the same session and state its results were "breathtaking". However, it noted the software's limitations beyond choir synthesis. Electronic Musician reviewer David M. Rubin felt the software was "high-end", noting its flexibility. He admitted that you have to learn how to work with the phonetic system quite a bit and the results may not be as good as an experienced choir director can deliver, but noted how it worked to give a great virtual choir. He noted at the time of his review there were no solo, tenor, or bass samples and the WordBuilder did not work with the solo samples, but gave an overall good review. The high demand of the processor was also noted by him as a downfall of the software. ==References==
