Could iSymphonic Orchestra work for live playing?
I have not yet purchased isymphonic orchestra. At the moment I am using my ipad for playing keyboard instruments like organ, strings and synths at church every Sunday with a midi controller. The only sound I am not fully satisfied is with strings. I use the korg module strings but I would like something that sounds a bit more real. Will isymphonic work fine with some tweaking for backing strings live? If not, is there any other alternative for strings on ipad?

In my opinion iSymphonic is the best you can get on iOS.An alternative is Sampletank with the MiroslavPack.
That is a very good alternative,although not so many different sounds.
@Grobles87 - Korg Module has some great strings and pads; choirs, brass, along with organs, and a very good natural grand. All in one app. Might be a good alternative.
Plus it allows you to create custom sets.
It probably depends on the iPad. Personally I love the app but wouldn't dare play it live with my iPad mini 2
I think iSymphonic is the best so far. Dragged myself with extra grumbling to buy the IAPs bit by bit but have never regretted getting them (the Missus might disagree...)
@TGiG Why wouldn't you play it with an ipad mini 2? Do you tend to have glitches or cutoffs if you push it too hard? I have a mini 2 myself and my idea is only to use the string sounds and nothing else per song. I never use 2 sounds per song when playing live.
@Grobles87 it's usually fine if I have wifi off, put it in airplane mode, and close all other apps. But it'll occasionally get some crackles when I change presets.
I'm sure you can play it safe and make it run smoothly. I do recommend it!
Hope that helps!
One more vote for iSymphonic. Certainly the most convincing for string sounds. I've used it live successfully. The only issue is that it takes a while to load. If you're gonna keep it open then that's not really an issue, just beware. I would also check out Thumbjam if you don't already own it. I mean, everyone should own it anyway....but I particularly like the cello setting with long fifths and thirds, has a great tone.
