Here are some examples where I used Symphonic Choirs: obviously no legato, but that’s no real limitation. The best approach is to build the shorter phrases, than safe them and load them after each other in the final project. There is not even an option to jump to a specific position via Keyswitch. working on long phrases with the wordbuilder is just painful.

You’ve got to do some editing on the release tails to achive a snappy stacc sound. Staccato articulations are pretty much useless, they are too long. No good molto vibrato sounds at fff (Voices of the apocalypse expansion doesn’t do the job either) Solo voices for Soprano, Alto and Boy Choir. Utilizing the mic positions you can really create all kind of different choir section sounds from big and epic to very upfront and detailed (just works with the platinum edition!) I’ve heard german demos aswell that sounded convincing enough. the wordbuilder is a very powerful tool, but you’ve got to accept it’s limitations (EW decided not to implement useful features), once mastered you’re able to pull some nice gibberish or actual english/latin phrases. It’s got a nice soft and a decent forte sound

consistent tone among all sections that blends well with EW SO (and HO) I think it is very useful for your up to 4part writing in orchestral setups, here are some thoughts off the top of my head. Symphonic Choirs is the only choir I own, so i can’t compare. Their player runs very stable and smooth on my system (windows 10, streaming from HDDs, Hollywood Orchestra, Symphonic Orchestra and other EW libs (full EW template)).
