OK, for those interested, here are mp3¹s of an orchestral piece I sequenced
using GOS lite:

The same piece using SISS Mini:

or a blend of the two:

These are about 5MB each and will be up on my web server for only a limited
time, as they take up a fair chunk of my space allotment.

The legato violin line starting around 2:15 was very difficult to render
realistically, and even after days/weeks of tweaking it¹s still not perfect
(I still need to adjust the overlaps between some of the legato notes,
especially in the SISS version.)

In addition to the strings, I used the following libraries:
PMI Boesendorfer piano dry
Westgate woodwinds
Sonic Implants brass cheap soundfonts (French horn)
the free SAM trumpets that used to be downloadable on their web site
the harp patch from the Alesis classical Q-card (I know there are better
harps available!)

When I get around to it, I¹ll probably record some of my own cello to double
some of the string lines. This would add a huge element of realism.

Hope this is instructive. After you¹ve had a chance to listen, I¹ll write
something about my impressions of the two string libraries.
