The price for each has been dropped by one dollar ($1.00 U.S.).

A word of warning though: those Sonivox plugins contain reductions of distillations of cut-downs of lite-version of what, originally (and quite a long time ago), was a respected orchestral sample library: the Sonic Implants Symphonic Orchestra.

I never liked anything among the brass or the woodwinds though.)
While the odd useful sample has survived this merciless sonivoxication — meaning that these plugins do contain faint traces of what used to be excellent material — very few people, today, would consider the current Sonivox offerings an inspiring proposition if they're even only half-serious about mocking up an orchestra.
It might seem improbable that you could be wasting money with the asking price being as low as €4.34 per section, but if you buy these things hoping to be able to produce a fairly convincing virtual orchestra with them, you'll quickly discover that wasting money is exactly what you've done. Decent orchestral emulation requires a somewhat more substantial investment, I'm afraid.

I’m glad to see my post polarized by yours, interesting.

Thank you.

Better use the Spitfire LABS series. It’s free. Or the new line of freebies from Project Sam. And for their tenth anniversary, Cinematique Instruments are offering a host of freebies from today.
