Thanks guys.
The harp sounds weird to me too. It's kind of dead, like the samples have been artificially truncated (maybe for size considerations). Kind of ironic that the one instrument that would benefit from a longer release lacks it, while other instruments have tails galore.
It's the samples. I do have a bit of ValhallaVintageVerb on there to make everything gel a bit more, but it's fairly subtle.
FWIW, you can still get them for "free" I think. As for limited space, be aware that loading up the entire orchestra will require 2+ GB RAM, despite the small disk footprint.
There's hardly anything to tweak! The plugin is super-minimalist with built-in reverb being the only parameter, and I'm not even using that one 'cause I don't like the sound of it. But if you mean, have I used EQ or anything like that -- no, this is just the raw sound, only with a tiny bit of glue reverb. All plugin outputs are set to the same levels so everything's fairly well balanced I think. And as mentioned, I like the visual representation of the orchestra in the UI. Makes it super easy to pick the instruments you need.

I'm temporarily moving in a few months and I'll be without my main rig and all of my main libraries until I get back home. I'm looking for things I can use on my laptop, which has extremely limited space.
