All user reviews for the Edirol HQ-OR Orchestral

Edirol Orchestral is compatible with different working platforms like Xp , Vista , 7 or MAC.

The manual that is included with the software is more than enough to obtain the necessary knowledge of how the pack works and how to use it.

The setup doesn't require a lot of time or effort , it's very fast and easy to manage.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

The software works correctly in its initial configuration.

The software has a good level of stability , no issues found while using it for some time.

I'm getting great performances in using different orchestral elements in my songs , a very nice grand piano is included here.

I've been using Edirol for two or three years.


OVERALL OPINION

What I like most about this product are the different articulations , the different type of strings, woodwinds, brass, percussion and Keyboards , a great vibrato and tremolo included with the instruments , and of course pizzicato and spiccato.

I also like how amateur friendly is the design , very easy visually to find your right patch or your articulation.

This product has 24-bit/96kHz sampling resolution.

My opinion about the value for the price is great , this product can be bought for 350 $ , which is way cheaper than other orchestral packs.
You get a full orchestra for just 350 $ , that's a good deal , however the quality and the precision and quality of the sounds is quite weak , I don't really like how strings sound , brass and woodwinds sound even worst.

The tremolo instruments sound good , apart from them you get a quality of 60 %.

Not a very good quality of the sounds , but with some compressors and reverbs , you get the effect.

I've tried several models , this is probably the cheapest , and the most amateur friendly product.

Knowing what I know , I don't think I would buy this product , but great product for beginners.

There weren't any kind of compatibility issues , the program worked really amazing on Windows XP, Windows Seven or even MAC OS.

The book provided with the program was very good , well detailed , all the information that was important was well explained there.

General configuration and setup is fast easy and so it doesn't require a lot of time and effort.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

The software works smooth and its stability is very great and epic.
The functions and the performances are very nice , I think its great having your own orchestra in just a plugin.
I've been using this product for about 3 months , but I've used a lot its piano and slow strings selection.

OVERALL OPINION

What I like most about Edirol is that you have a full orchestra in your daw , it's very easy to use , it's fast , it doesn't require much cpu power.
I also like how many types of articulation and instruments are present in the product itself , surprisingly I have found that the keys , the concert piano are actually very high quality and sound much better than other huge libraries that cost much more and weight many and many hundreds of gb more.
What I do not like about this product is that you can't really compare the brass selection , the strings , with the top products like east west , native instruments , symphobia etc.

My opinion about the value of price is great , I think this product allows a lot of options and tweaking and it stays in a very comfortable price range for almost everybody.

Precision and quality of the sounds I would rate 8/10 , as I mentioned you get pretty good results for the size included and the price range , however if you want to make something very serious you must consider buying something better.

Knowing what I know , I don't think I would buy this product mainly because if you're a pro , you need to have pro hardware and software.

There weren't any kind of compatibility issues with Edirol Orchestral.
The manual provided by the soft is quite clear and enough to understand the basic functions of the work flow. However it has plenty of musical instruments and if you would like to have a better understanding of the connections between instruments and sounds you should search for some additional info.

The general configuration and setup is quite simple and fast, in just a couple of minutes you would have your own orchestra installed as a VST or standalone in your own home or studio.

The typical functions are quite accessible and clear , the design however is quite amateur but straight forward that's why it's pretty easy to use.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

The software works decent and the gear is stable, however I've encountered a problem, after closing the daw, next time you open the project, the settings aren't saved, so all of your setting are practically lost.
I've been using this program for more than a year, and I gotta say, it's quite good, however it can't be compared with some massive orchestral like East West Quantum Leap or VSL.


OVERALL OPINION

What I like most about it, it's that it doesn't require high cpu resources, you can run multiple instances of Edirol and still work as you would've lunched just one.
The price of this product can match almost every kind of pocket, it doesn't cost much so practically anyone can afford it.
However I would suggest if you're serious about producing orchestral music, classical music, or just some pop involved with strings/ basses/ to get something that has a better quality.

The quality of sounds I would rate 7/10, the precision of instruments and pitch is good, 8/ 10.

Knowing what I know, if I wouldn't have enough cash to buy EWQL or something similar than I suggest getting Edirol Orchestral.

No installation problem ... Manuel succinct.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

I use an athlon 1 ghz 512 meg of memory. Config stable, low cpu resources used by the plug

OVERALL OPINION

This product is a scam unspeakable. 399 euros for a must even when to do it!
Let's face it: the IDE to keep the main sound of an orchestra in a capacity of 150 mgas, was not too RVer ... But the expectation is!

The sounds are of the highest comic particulirement violins resembling the sound made by the Bontempi organ you bought your mre in the 70 ... Everything is embedded in the rverbe and chorus worthy of a free vst from the depths of Vladivostok. Pizzicato are all pathetic, slender, poorly Defines ... the strings are muddy, fuzzy, they s'intgrent trs trs evil in a mix, if o plutt: they intgre it so well that no more than the peroit mdiocrit of these stamps in the middle of the other ...

If the plug still silent sold, will say 30 euros .... but the 399 euros! I never n'achterais edirol hardware, it's clear!

In short, back to the local dealer who informed me against the change of sample CD ...

No problem with installation.

A patch is provided in my cd that update version 1.01.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

Orchestral CPU usage level is a bit greedy but remains correct saw what he proposes (prchargs sounds in memory, 16 usable parts simultanment, Intgr effects ...).

Orchestral trs is stable, he never plant in my Cubase SX (Windows XP).

When loading the plug-in Orchestral, loading sounds is quick, less than 10 seconds in all.

I put 9 and not 10 because of the use of the CPU a little greedy on my 2.4 Ghz/1G of memory.

OVERALL OPINION

Highlights:

- A whole orchestra convincing on hand with a single click! This kind of ease for me inapprciable when the inspiration comes.

- The majority of the sound quality sounds. This is a quality of sound that varies between my sound card Orchestral 1 and 2 of the Roland JV-1080 and my Akai S3000 sampler. So it trs INTERESTED. Orchestral is perfect to put his left ides replace some sounds, then, with samples akai or others. But that does not me parat Necessary for the majority of the sounds on offer.

- The quality and effects routing. Indeed, in addition to a Reverb and Chorus of quality (typical Roland), can be assayed mixing / effects send for each sound (typical Roland again: o). This quickly assign external effects for this plug-in.
Weaknesses:

- A bit CPU intensive.

- Sounds a little the sound quality Ingala. Some sounds sound pros, others appear to be improved.

- Lack of choice in certain types of sounds, fills a simulator for a band. The factory strings together eg do not suit me and did not sound quite got my Varis.

- A bit frustrating having to, from time to time, insrer the original cd, any demand obviousness To verify if this is not a copy. Especially since it's not that kind of protection that inhibits the cracker.

- Small dtail again: all rglages are not saved in Cubase SX. The pRSET effects must be saved in Orchestral and reload when you reload the song. It is not good sr cubase poses problem. To my mind it is a choice opt on all Edirol products.
Overall opinion:

If I had that sound Whereas the quality of the product would be an average of 8 / 10.

If I could Whereas the practical (16 multitimbral parts, all the instruments of an orchestra about when the inspiration comes, effects Intgr practice) I put 9.5 / 10. Too bad that all custom settings are not taken into account in saving a song, if not 10/10.

For what I expected from this product I put 9 / 10.

PS: I do not understand the view of the user Previous ... Apart from its small Orchestral default I think is an excellent compromise sound quality / ease of use. Its done all sounds can be used in a finished product that sounds pro! I use it for two months for my composed orchestral with satisfaction, Kontakt parallle for more samples or missing prcis Orchestral (mainly voice and some orchestral sounds).

No bp of this view (so why give less than 10?)
and then you do not need the manual

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

No prob with my AMD 1.4 Ghz 512MB RAM SBLive
the software is moderately greedy, I can run without 2modules bp

OVERALL OPINION

I lay on occasion bought € 150, and for that price, jen am satisfied
Avoid: the violin, and piano,

The rest is pretty good (with qqs SETTINGS)

You can not make a symphony, but it seems pretty convincing if the strings are implemented in such a mix.
If you are interresting seuelement by the strings, pick up Halion String Edition ...

Installation ok! Say anything! You click on the setup what!
I is not 10/10 because it lacks more than 200MB of software or complicated installation!

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

Duron 1.1GHz
512 ram

Really no problem. Even in the maximum use (that is, 16 instrumentals), everything is ok!
If not always the same, I do not 10/10 because that's all of the same the very least it is stable in light of what is REALLY ...

OVERALL OPINION

Good and well that's the bottom hurts!
I use it for more than 10 months. I bought a high price in mind to finally have my orchestral sounds and have my little bank complte. In short, what j'tais happy!
But the sounds are sick! We can do anything with it! For effects that are with, everything is too small!
The eq still makes me laugh and for the reverb, one wonders if it has no t made to simulate a warm tin can!
I am even more than dgout for purchasing this app. I feel ripped off by m'tre is littralement Dirol. APRS over 10 months I have not forgotten so c'tait standard!
This app would have a good freeware, but 400 Euros is compltement surraliste.
REPRESENTATIVES soft for me the most of pathtique Dirol!

BLME free installation, no incompatibility, software easy to use ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 5 months. This ke use most and I think ki restore good sound is the strings, I find the incredible finesse, with a width of exquisite set of strings that gives me chills. Otherwise, there's good and bad, to sounds Brass, blah, nothing special, that does not give her vertigo must say ...
Qualitprix: I bought it for 100 euros, seemed be reasonable and I am Fully satisfied, I was afraid to beginners, with the MODEL or hypercanvas superquartet, I was expecting a sound rotten but my delight NO! has sounds good, but adpend of c'ke you want to get this plug! K'ils damage have not done just with the violins, one pass s'rait other instruments ...
Good choice all the same

No problem.

OVERALL OPINION

Prs a year and a half post APRS have three compounds in dmonstrations sound, I m'aperois I did not cry to review this product. It dsormais done.
When I bought this product c'tait for me the very first time I rubbed the joys of orchestral sound bank and I must say that I really apprci.
For my part, I find some wood and percussion trs well made, even if the same when any lack of "Niack". The strings are not standards but coutable remains, brass, however, are trs ugly, it must be said.
Sr is that if we compare orchestral banks such as VSL, the choice is quickly made, but what price?!
I recommend this software for beginners as it is easy to handle and it REPRESENTATIVES not too big investment (especially if it is found OCCAZ 100 euros).
I do not have that choice would do with xperience, but as a beginners two years ago, yes I would do without this choice problem.

No problem of the ct

OVERALL OPINION

So plutt than to positive / ngatifs, I ProCD like this:
SONS
Edirol has chosen to make a vsti of orchestral sounds: one of the biggest brands in the synthse tried to find a place in the market with Edirol Orchestral Symphony. The fault, however, is THE FIRST: If the PSE does absolutely nothing vsti (150MB I think?), It has nevertheless a major default in relation to the samplers: the ism. Or if something good concert rclament most is the authenticity. If the ear mdiocre the most people will sometimes vritable an orchestra, a little attention left immediately see that the sounds are purely synthetic. If your goal is to compose a way that ca not rowing is a trs good choice, but at ism not worth Iren.
EFFECTS
The thing that is of no use: some freeware will better Contents of chorus and reverb.
USE
So if there's one thing that is really chi .. is the absence of keyswitch: it is necessary to open noon to 5 tracks one instrument, because it takes for a STACC, one for legacy, for pizza, etc., and more must coordinate all this when we made up, and it's really not practical.
CONCLUSION
Of the scam, theft, the plugs would have sold t the ca 50 euros would, but for that price, many other samplers are 20 times better. The default: pourraves sounds too synthetic and lack of kayswitches.

Edirol HQ-OR orchestreal plugin is worth the buy. This plug in creates wonderful sounding orchestral instruments to use in your music. These sounds are the real thing, they are samples of the real instruments and that’s why they sound so full and rich. You could make some great movie scores with these sounds and instruments.


SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

I have been using Edirol HQ-OR orchestral software for about 2 years and no orchestra software can compare to this vst. The price is ok, but if you wait till they have a sale you will get it for a fraction of the cost. So keep checking back online at their website and you will come across some sort of a deal, and they may also let you download a trial version of the software so you can see just how great the samples sound before making your investment in this piece of software.


OVERALL OPINION


I ran this software on my windows computer and it worked great in both of my daw’s. Cubase and Fl Studio worked seamlessly with Edioral HQ-OR Orchestral software. This program is extremely easy to use just load it up and start messing with the presets and you will be ready to start adding these instruments in your projects right away.

Overall this program is the great, but its not the best. There are higher priced programs for orchestra sounds that are better than this one, but those programs cost a lot more. So if you are on a budget than this is the one you will end up needing to go with. It sounds great, its simple to use and it comes with high quality real sampled sounds that sound great and are ready to go right away. No need to add too many affects because the instruments are full and rich. You cant go wrong with this software.

Pb no installation, and it's not a big soft anyway, so no complications.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

I work (even now) with a "small" config:
WinXP + Sempron 1.6 GHz + 2GB RAM + Fl Studio

No pb with the stability vst - The management of the 16 MIDI tracks and the machine is simple cash fine.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for several months now and I do not encounter any technical problem. This little app is particularly well done, perfect to start the orchestration, the sounds are not those of the VSL or EW but remain honorable. While they sometimes lack realism or dynamic. So, sometimes we make compromises in terms of components, that is why we usually happens then more expensive, bigger, better and so much ...

Brief start (or use "amateur" is in my opinion a perfect soft, low resource PC inexpensive, easy to implement and use, even if the medium to long term it quickly want something more realistic, more convincing. But I do songs with bcp and I regret nothing. For "everyman", the sound is convincing and leaves a good listener. Good value for money .

For extended operation, and / or a trained ear, forget and move on to more "serious".

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

This sample is complete but lacks depth. It is the noise level to a synthetic type keyboard roland jv / xp or some EMU samplers Series E.
It is clear that the sounds are platonic solo but someone who knows how to fine tune and with a playing technique quite pro can remove something pretty impressive I would say.
Although the sound is "crap" at the base, I can not contradict the qualitative result of a sequence worked well.

the price is too high but I think for the most invested in the music as it is complete, it is thinking ...

Some sample have nothing to do with edirol course: Garritan and eastwest are beautiful. Yet the eastwest can be cumbersome because the sounds are too "perfect" and it seems that there is more subtlety ... and it is a shame ...
I prefer to take samples from a little less expensive option and "medium" as of Garritan Personal ... You'll have enough room to put your little subtleties of the moment ...
Some will say difficult, but with samples too advanced I feel that all music is a bit like ... I have the impression that the samples "pro" take the place of artists and fills the compound too ... (extreme intensity of sounds on-gloss, enormous magnitude ..)

There is no better samples, music is a history of ear ... look at those old horror movies with modular synths, feelings have nothing to do, texture is oily groundwater and the atmosphere to other priorities ...
Do not forget that kinesthesia provides the music, so not too much focus on the aspect of sound quality, indeed it's not just the ear that is sought in music ... !
