Anyone have any of them? Which ones are good?

I don't know why, but I have this fuzzy feeling that $5 is exactly the price these ReFills are worth nowadays.

What about Alan Parsons Imperial Grand? What level is that?

I have them all (bought them in a mega-bundle thing), and I love them (except the hip-hop ones because I'm not into that, so I can't comment). Tibah is right in that you won't find "modern" sounds, but there are lots and lots of very usable general use patches, like pads, atmosphere, leads, etc. Then there is the Miroslav bundle, which is absolutely brillant if you're into classical/soundtrack, both for strings and brass (two orders of magnitude above Orkester IMHO, and at least as good as Zampled Euphonics Strings; I haven't tried Embouchure nor Chambre though so I can't compare). I'd say about 1/4th of my Favorites patches come from those SR refills.

Be aware though that you can probably have them for cheaper if you wait, I bought the whole collection (Miroslav + Ultra Refill Gold + SR 4 Gold (vol 1-20)) for 177$ (59$ per bundle).

I was only interested in hearing about the Sonic Reality refills. I have Miroslav, Euphoric, Chambre, ect.

Well given there are 20 volumes to the Sonic Reality series, that means $100 for the set.

The value this offers all depends on what you are able to make of it. It might offer nothing to one and everything to another. Sure does help to have options though.

One thought that comes to mind though, everyone is looking for gold but if you learn to refine coal you'll run rings around the gold mines!

The Sonic Reality refills I have are outstanding....probably some of the best samples I have ever heard. I think it is worth it...but YMMV of course.

I use the "Instruments of 60s, 70s..." refill a lot.

I had a mate who copied me some free refills on to my usb and he accidentally gave me his Sonic Reality Gold Refill.
Back then I was using Reason 4 and I remember giving it a go and I didn't like it. But I was a a complete Noob and very narrow minded and even up myself thinking I was going to be famous and shit after 2 years. Haha. I was out of touch with reality and been around some of my great mates who do Go hard in Reason they made it look easy and they helped me so much I even took them for granted.

While i'm a bit more humble & older now, I feel I just wanna collaborate more and that's why I upgraded to Reason 8, but then I download some shizzle and I'm think I'm not at that level where i'm comfortable in doing this yet.

I only own Miroslav and the Alan Parsons Imperial Grand and they are top notch must-haves. Very well done ReFills.
I haven't explored the $5 bin...

Thanks for the advice

I bought that one. Once I get more familiar with combinators I'm going to start making my own.

The orchestral ones are pretty good.

This one is very good. Thanks for the recommendation.

you are always at a level where collaboration can be a good thing
