Korg and KApro are pleased to announce new pricing for some of KApro highly acclaimed sound libraries. The new price is effective immediately. For full details, including audio demos, please check out the KRONOS Sound Librariessite:
About KApro:
KApro has been a provider of premium sounds for flagship hardware synthesizers and workstations like the KORG KRONOS. KApro have been renowned for excelling in symphonic and orchestral sample based libraries.
* * *
Note: All of the new and updated libraries require KRONOS System Version 3.0.4 or later.
EXs demo versions and authorization codes
As always, you can download and try out all EXs libraries for free. Initially, they will work in demo mode. You'll be able to play, edit, and save Programs, Combis, Wave Sequences, and Songs which use the new samples - but until you purchase an authorizationcode, their sound will fade out periodically. To purchase an authorization code, go to the online shop at https://shop.korg.com/kronos/SoundLibraries. Once purchased, entering the authorization code into the KRONOS removes the audio limitations of demo mode- no additional downloads required.

Finally, the awesome, super high-quality KApro libraries at prices much closer to my budget! I have been so wanting one of the amazing Epic Composer collections. But now which one to get first?

I personally think the KApro EXs Sample Library Bundle Vol. 2 Symphonic Dreams Complete 4: $249 ($399) is the best if you don't have that first.
Also just download them and demo them, the problem is they cut in and out really fast in demo mode, but will give you an idea.
Anything that has the words Private Collection are basically bits of different sound libraries for people that don't want or need the full sets.
I prefer the full sets than the private collections as you end up missing stuff and may want them in the future and you end up only buying the full set later for the missing bits and basically purchased some twice or more depending on how many Private collections you get in the first place.
Start with the KApro EXs Sample Library Bundle Vol. 2 Symphonic Dreams Complete 4: $249 ($399) you won't regret it, then if you want more individual instruments then add the epic composer, the animated epic composer stuff is basically phrases that are played which may appeal or not.
I added the kapro violin, cello for better violins and cello, they are better than both the epic and symphonic sets for the individual instruments.
Symphonic Dreams Complete 4 being used here in all the videos below :-
Youtube the Epic composer sets, the demos are all pretty bad that I found of the epic composer stuff, you can't get a real idea what they can do, They are better than the videos show but only if you find a use for them, I like them but I find I keep using the Symphonic Dreams Complete 4 more and every time I demo the epic demos I feel like there is not enough there compared to Symphonic and avoid buying them but now with the price cuts I may try the demos again and see if it's worth a punt.
then, I do not need to purchase "Epic Composer Private Collection"?
I asked Kurt Ader, who told me that "Epic Composer Private Collection" is a totally different library.
Please be precise and accurate. Thank you.
Epic Composer Private Collection is a different library, it is just a mix of the main ones, it's basically a best of collection.
The other ones you mention contain the same patches and more. As I said before private in the name means they are basically parts of the other main libraries.
If you want everything then stay away from anything saying Private in the name and buy only the main libraries.
If you read the description of the private collections it tells you where the patches are taken from other libraries and read the pdf too and you will see the patches match up to other libraries.
