ROLI Studio can play all sound packs, but Choral Ensembles is specifically an Equator2 pack and isn't included standard with ROLI Studio.

Sound packs purchased from the ROLI Sound Store should function with ROLI Studio without requiring Equator 2.

Equator 2 upgrade eligibility includes owning Equator 1, Cypher, or ROLI Studio, but issues may require contacting support for resolution.

SWAM VST integrates seamlessly with the Seaboard and comes with a preset for easy setup, though some users find the NI orchestral library superior in sound quality.

If a sound pack isn't showing up in ROLI Studio, logging out and back into ROLI Connect often resolves the issue.

Some users experience the need to reinstall or reboot multiple times to make sound packs appear in ROLI Studio.

A user reported a prolonged issue with the Orchestral pack where over 50% of sounds, particularly those with horns, failed to produce sound, requiring persistent support contact.

Equator 2 upgrade is a discount incentive for ROLI hardware buyers, also applicable to Cypher 2 and Strobe 2, reflecting ROLI's pricing strategy for software.

The Orchestral Ensembles for Equator2 was noted to be on sale for $42, with some users purchasing it at a lower price during promotional periods.

SWAM strings are highly expressive with MPE but reportedly less realistic than NI Orchestral instruments, requiring additional MPE to MIDI conversion for optimal sound.

The Seaboard paired with SWAM is ideal for solo performances due to its expressiveness, while Equator 2's orchestral pack suits lush, reverb-heavy orchestrations.
