From the garage to the philharmonic.
With a symphony orchestra in tow, you just may have to spring for bigger quarters. But if you're planning to conduct your own orchestra, you'll want better acoustics anyway. Using Jam Pack 4: Symphony Orchestra and GarageBand (or Logic Express 7, Logic Pro 7), there are virtually no limits to the types of sophisticated music you can create. Taking advantage of the prerecorded Apple Loops (more than 2,000 in Jam Pack 4), you can compose everything from classical music to movie soundtracks. Or you may want to lend some symphonic power to your pop, rock or hip-hop arrangements.
Symphony Orchestra also provides you with more than 30 of the most important orchestral software instruments to play, including:
Strings -- In your…read moreorchestral string section, you'll find first and second violins, violas, cellos, double basses and a concert harp, as well. And thanks to GarageBand, you can control not only the dynamics and expression of each instrument but such articulations as staccato, tremolo and trills, as well.
Brass & Winds -- The ever-popular woodwind and brass sections include flutes, oboes, lovely French horns, trumpets, trombones and tubas, among others. Play any as solo instruments or, for a richer sound, as an entire section. You can even control the playing style of individual instruments.
Percussion -- Now's your chance to play a wide selection of percussive elements: bass, snare and field drum; cymbals, gong and bells; the woodblock and still others. You can also try your hand at a full range of pitched percussion instruments, including timpani, celesta, xylophone, marimba and the glockenspiel.
Keyboard -- Your Symphony Orchestra also comes with new keyboard instruments, as well. They includes a Steinway grand piano, harpsichord and a heavenly church organ.read less

I'm tempted to get the jam pack but I'd like to know which instruments are represented first. a mention of thousands isn't exaclty helpful.
Are there violins? trumpets? Bodhrain?
I'd just like to see a list first. Or at the least a yay or nay on certain types of instruments.
Is there a Harpsichord?
I've put together a list of Software Instruments and Real Instrument settings both in HTML and as an Excel Spreadsheet.

The instruments I particularly like was the 12-String Chord Guitar, the tremolo guitar, the deep and fingered basses, and the Tribal Kit (which includes a fantasic Rainstick sample). I suppose one of the tribal kit drums could be similar to a bodhran, though you can't emulate the pitch nuances a true bodhran player can pull off.
Hope that helps.

P.S. I've put together a song that uses the tremolo guitar, rainstick, organ, jazz kit and bass. It's available at GBXchange.com: You can listen to it HERE. Jubilee enterprise pcl.

Any idea how the jampack compares to the loops that come with Soundtrack? I have Soundtrack, and I'd be interested in picking up more non-specific loops, but not if there's going to be a lot of redundancy.
