I could be wrong, but the manual is not exactly clear about this. I think there are a lot of passable sounds there and it really isn't as bad as some of what we've heard on here, but why aren't they automatically present when using the WordBuilder? In fact true legatos don't seem possible to use with the WordBuilder at all. That's not a solution, that feels half-baked. But what happens when the men or women sing the same note? Plus in a more middle range there won't be any distinction in tone between the sections. The manual tells us to load two "Men" and two "Women" patches if we want SATB. I didn't think for a moment that we wouldn't even get standard four sections.
When HC was first announced I maybe even thought for a moment that we'd get DIVISI. Here's one really big problem I have with the library: there are not SATB sections. It seemed like more of a trade-off than just a solid improvement. There are also some sounds that the new WordBuilder is better at than the original, but there are also some that it's not as good at.
The dynamic range as well is great, though I still think the original Symphonic Choirs is better in very quiet dynamics, but I could be wrong about that. Strengths: right when you open it, the reverb setting is magnificent. I finally had to use a choir in one of my projects and figured it would be a good chance to take an honest look at Hollywood Choirs.
