In general, a great pack. I have issues with the saxophones, though. In many cases they are so realistic, that they make “beginner mistakes”. - For example, the middle D on soprano sax is severely out of tune in many dynamics. Realistic (unfortunately), but not something I really want to emulate in my MIDI-playback. - Similar for some of the lower notes, specifically on tenor and alto sax. They take a while to sound: they first hit an overtone and only then the low note. A beginner player may sound like this, but again, are we aiming to emulate a beginner saxophone player? - Finally, the alto sax has a tendency to overuse bends in louder dynamics (as I like to call it: full Kenny G-mode). In classical works this sounds totally inappropriate.
