Play a full orchestra with two hands GSi Mini Orchestra is a sample-playback synthesizer based on a selection of high quality stereo samples with long loops, that helps reproducing the sound of a symphonic orchestra easily and quickly. It offers 9 sections including: bass brasses (tubas, trombones), cellos and contrabass, french horns, woodwinds (flutes, oboe, fagotto), treble brasses (trumpets and trombones), treble strings (violins, violas), choirs, glockenspiel and percussions (timpani and cymbals). Each section can be programmed independently to have a given response to velocity, expression pedal, aftertouch, and velocity zone. The "aftertouch lag" parameter lets you adjust the response to the aftertouch messages in order to obtain smooth dynamic transitions. Main features - Includes 9 sections, each with adjustable volume, pan, attack, release - Individual sections can be adjusted to velocity, aftertouch and expression sensitivity - Each section can be limited to a programmable velocity range - Three mute groups allow muting and unmuting sections at the push of a button - 256 voices of Polyphony - Built-in Stereo Reverb effect - Built-in programmer with unlimited Programs - Embedded user's' manual - Available as Stand-alone App and audio AUv3 plugin - Very low CPU and RAM usage

If you bought and were disappointed by isymphonic, get this for REAL orchestral possibilities for the right price. It is absolutely fantastic.

iOS we must first remember has serious resource limitations and mocking up a whole orchestra takes up a lot of even a modern desktop’s capability, so here there is only one dynamic layer, no round robins, no shorts or legatos, at most 61 keys of range across ensemble patches, ensembles in octaves, a general emphasis on tutti arranging, a general prosumer emphasis on velocity vs mod wheel.But you can set the mod wheel as expression and lean in favor of expression vs velocity. You can brighten up the dull tone with a decent EQ and level up the reverb with Pro R2 etc. The “Violin Viola” is full ensemble strings and “Cellos” is this meager cello with a massive molto vibrato on a tight loop to save sample size and is only good for blending in at 75% panned a bit right for a touch more definition on the ensemble. Brass never gets very bright but is okayish, it’s easy to adjust attack and release times for a bit better transitions. Choir isn’t all that bad for an Aaaahh. The misspelled “Percussions” is a stacked tympani cassa and piatti smash that’s fixed to a single note, sorry no way to tune it or separate it. The glockenspiel is adequate but remember to set the velocity range full if using this on its own track. The woodwinds are fair enough but don’t do contrabassoon or piccolo range. There is an optional M/S stereo widening effect but thankfully the samples are already stereo and that effect is clumsily unnaturally wide and you can do better with a proper plugin.I got this on sale and it’s good enough to not ask for a return but I preferred the stuff in Korg Module Pro, and iSymphonic I haven’t tried yet but is obviously more comprehensive. Staffpad is the only iOS thing with Pro sounds but it isn’t usable as AUv3 as this is. Although SWAM is arguably Pro sound as well. So this is good at least for some layering and might fill some gaps with the Korg/KAPro sounds at times, which I recommend trying first. For serious work I will of course stay on desktop lol.
