***** 5/5 Stars
OK, Forest Kingdom remains a niche library, but this is top-quality sound design from someone who has obvious passion and real expertise in his field. Whether it's the upgrade from an earlier version, or a new purchase, if Forest Kingdom 3 is in your musical ballpark, you will not be disappointed.

Fazit:
Wie bei allen Sample-Libraries muss man bei aller Klangqualität entscheiden, ob man diese Art Klangfarben für seine Arbeit benötigt. Erste Zielgruppe dürften die Produzenten von Film-, Fernseh- und Werbemusik sein. Forest Kingdom 3 stellt die nötigen Tools zur Verfügung, einen Score in der Dschungel-/Wald-/Fantasy-Thematik auf die Beine zu stellen. Aber auch diejenigen, die sich um Klanginstallationen aller Art kümmern, könnten sich durch diese Tarilonte-Library inspirieren lassen.
Die Auswahl ist riesig, die Klangqualität ist enorm und der Preis ist mit 259 Euro absolut angemessen. Nutzer der Vorversionen können für 99 Euro upgraden.

"Forest Kingdom 3 might just be the finest offering yet in Tarilonte’s mushrooming canon of excellence."
BEAT 09/2021 
Forest Kingdom 3 ist die erste Wahl, wenn ausdrucksstarke ethnische Instrumente sowie von der Natur inspirierte Klangwelten gefragt sind. Besonders die neuen Flöten lassen sich bemerkenswert ausdrucksvoll spielen. Aber auch die übrigen Instrumente wie die sehr dynamisch spielbaren Trommeln und Percussion-Instrumente überzeugen auf der ganzen Linie. Und die organischen Flächenklänge sind auch für Ambient, Downtempo, Chillout & Co. eine echte Bereicherung. Wer schnelle Inspiration sucht oder gar mit einer Deadline im Nacken komponiert, wird die 300 Multitrack-Performance-MIDI-Grooves schätzen.
Sample Library Review 06/22/2021 
"Eduardo Tarilonte has once again proven he is the master of cinematic sampling with Forest Kingdom 3. The library is huge, beautiful and is everything you need to create lush cinematic scores, ambient backdrops and meditative soundscapes. Highlights such as the new Native American flutes with plenty of articulations and playing styles, lead to much more realistic and human performances. The all new phrase-based and midi pattern content only offers more inspiration and creativity and every single instrument sounds like it belongs in the forest. If you are used to using any other Eduardo Tarilonte libraries, you know what to expect. If not, Forest Kingdom 3 is the perfect place to start. A must-have library for the modern composer."
