#Project sam symphobia review Patch
There is a Lumina 'Recordings and Articulations Overview' patch list available as a PDF, but descriptions like 'Orchestrated Longs' and 'Orchestrated Fantasy Gestures' doesn't tell me anything about how they sound or how playable they are from the keyboard. I'd just like video demo with simple patch run throughs. I don't need to hear any more produced demos myself. Knowing how I work, and my preferences for getting as much as I can out of as few patches as possible, I suspect it would score very highly in the latter test, which really leaves the former - how useful / convenient is it? So the real deciding factor for me is, given that Lumina indeed sounds awesome (which from all sources I can find, it does), how much more useful / convenient would Lumina be than those 2-4 libs, and how much more efficient would it make my workflow to be able to access and control that many instruments from a single, well-laid out, flexible, playable, and resource-friendly patch? From my perspective, I could probably cover all the instruments in Lumina (and prob a lot more) with those 2-4 other libs. But at the end of the day, for me, the consumer, I have to weigh getting Lumina - which to me seems very well designed, useful, and sounds great - against getting 2-4 other libs that are also well-designed, useful, and sound great. If the price was more in the ballpark of the other, (what I consider) more high-end libs I'm looking at, I'd already own it.Īnd, as you say, I'm not making any judgment calls one way or another on the price, as it could easily be more than justified by the money / effort invested. That's the only factor holding me back, and making me weigh it more carefully. Figured "what am I waiting for with a new SSD?!" and just ordered the m500 960gb on sale at Amazon. In other words - I'd try to time a purchase of Symphobia with a sale, but Omni can be bought any time.ĮDIT - typing this post was useful / expensive.
Project Sam do have very occasional sales (OE is on sale now), my guess would be there would be sale around Black Friday for Symphobia.

Practically, Omnisphere has never had a sale and is unlikely ever to - the free updates keep on coming though. There's no legato in #1, you'll need separate legato elements. The effects are great if now ubiquitous, and the tone throughout is superb. If you haven't yet, register at and have a few sessions yourself to check out the multis in action.Īlbion is the obvious competitor, but AFAIK Spitfire haven't gone down the multi road in the same way, which is a shame as personally I find it the most useful aspect. IMO S2 jumped the shark there - the multis just seemed gimmicky and actually unplayable in practice, but I'm delighted to see how that direction has been reversed in Lumina. If you need to orchestrally score to picture at the rate of 8-10 mins a day, it's invaluable as a tool - a multi like Are You Not Entertained is astonishing for a filling out a broad backing in an action cue that you only need to add a small number of elements to rather than orchestrating each element from scratch. I have half a dozen of the most useful multis in my template (the Stories in Lumina are more refined versions of the multi concept). IMO the USP of Symphobia still - and where it has no equal outside Project Sam - is for working quickly. I have Symphobia 1 and likely to get Lumina (need to increase my SSD space before it will fit though).

I'm looking for totally subjective, biased opinions here, no objective words of Yoda wisdom.įWIW, the alternatives to the ProjectSAM path for me right now will be a small group of libs I've wanted for a bit, including a choir upgrade (probably Requiem Pro), and either or Omnisphere.

having used it for a little bit, do you still feel it was worth the relatively high tag price? If I do end up getting one, that will likely be it for this purchasing spree, as the rest of my funds are already allocated to more practical purposes (larger SSD / possible Mac Mini slave, reverb upgrade to 2CA B2). Being someone who appreciates getting a lot out of a single patch, Lumina in particular seems pretty impressive, and the tone coming from all 3 libs seems great across the board.Īre there a lot of Symphobia / Lumina users here? If so, what has your experience been? Did you end up using it as much as you expected to? Is it pretty easy to work with?Īnd another obvious question. I'm not sure if this is the (very) unusually large amount of extra funds I have speaking or not, but for the last 1-2 days, I've been watching a lot of ProjectSAM vids / listening to demos, and I think I might actually like the concepts, especially for Lumina.
