just dropped I think, so far it looks pretty decent, nice phrase library but I think the market is just about oversaturated with these now, not to say that the product doesn't sound great in the demo.

I bought it last weekend am quite impressed. Main reason I bought it was that the sounds are definitely more powerful than the Session Strings I have been using so far. Very well suited for film soundtracks. And there is a huge selection of phrases that can be played in all keys.
Criticism is the steep price: similarly to Damage it is way too overprized so. Also the options to modify reverb or sounds of a particular phrase are limited.
But in general I am happy with it and am planning to use it quite a bit (especially min conjunction with Damage).

If you mean Damage,I was told by a person from NI that Damage will not be part of K9U,I guess we'll see.
He did mention there'd be a new
Horn /Horn section library that he was raving about though. ;-)

I have been dying dying dying for NI to release a brass library, I hope it is good but I am also sad that Damage will not be in there, the library looked very promising, thanks for the info. Did they drop any info as to the release date?
