- Great for the price (Steinway piano main reason for purchase)
The day before I ordered this Jam Pack, I had received an M-Audio 88es USB velocity sensitive keyboard from amazon (reviewed separately) Keystation 88es 88 Key USB MIDI Controller and sustain pedal M-Audio SP-2 US65010 Sustain Pedal Piano Style Sustain Pedal for Keyboards

The standard Garage Band 'Grand Piano' sounded just "OK", and there was no harpsichord. Those were my prime reasons for ordering this Jam Pack... and to have fun with the other sounds, of course.

The Steinway Piano in this pack is substantially better than the standard Garage Band piano. Neither is perfect - but this Steinway is great for the price. The difference is more than the soft hammer sound of a Steinway vs a hardened hammer sound of the standard piano. The velocity response and the behavior ... Read More

installed with no problem- only wish it had solo strings for violin, and a slide trombone- other than that lots of stuff and fun!

- Impressive array
With Garage Band's standard-issue synth patches and loops, it was hard to make new music without using the same sounds more than once. With these Jam Packs, I can get lost just finding loops to use - which is a really good thing! Definitely worth the money!

- A Great Addition
After taking the time to get serious with garage band, I quickly found the need to get more instument voices for my uses. I play the music into garage band (record) with a M-Audio 66ES keystation (which I highly recommend) and found that there just weren't enough instruments to meet my needs for all of the tracks that I like to record. This product more than meets those needs, as it has a ton of instruments to use. I especially like how much more realistic they sound than the pre-loaded instruments in the original garage band. If you are more into using the loops, they are spectacular! They would work well as soundtracks for movies or slideshows, or as accompaniments to anything you want. This product is well worth the money and I don't feel as if I need to get any of the other Jam Packs. ... Read More

- Terrific instruments for Logic or Garageband with some reservations
I've installed this on my Mac to use with Logic Pro and the instruments are terrific - great orchestral sounds along with a really good Steinway and some lovely organ sounds as well. While I don't use the loops they are very interesting as well and well done.

The instrumental sounds on these are really sensitive to velocity. For example, the brass sounds are wonderful at low velocities but the higher velocities are not good - too brash and the attacks are ragged. I'm a trombone player and if I played like that I'd not be happy.

Also, the strings seem to have a cresc built into the sample - not sure what that's about but it's disconcerting.

Having said all of that I'm still happy - the price is right.
