Yes; most of the current generation workstation keyboards have pretty decent
orchestral sounds, particularly when compared to what was typical, say, 10
years ago.
However, the bar is much higher now. Most Hollywood films are scored with
software now, and I bet that you couldn't even notice. Huge libraries from EWQL
and others are used, and most of those composers use a master computer running
a DAW (serving as a sequencer), with slave systems just running softsynths.
Your total synth farm might consist of 5 machines in an average setup. This is
needed to have enough processing power to completely mimic a full orchestral
arrangement in real-time, with all sections, solo instruments, and all
articulations of the above. The new libraries, under the control of a skilled
composer/sequencer, sound absolutely as real as you'd want.

Well - I gotta tell ya, I've gotten some pretty decent orchestral sounds out of
my Fantom X-6 Workstation. Also, I play on a Roland AT-90 console organ at my
church that has some halfway decent stuff in it as well. I'm extremely
fortunate to have one of those puppies at home, thanks to the church and
others; I received it as a gift for my tenure as Church Organist. Perhaps I
should send some stuff along at some point so you can hear it.
Cheers,
Mike

Bryan,
I'm personally just looking mostly for synth sounds, drums, and basses
to run through my akai. I agree with you that hardware synths aren't really
adequate to get nice sounding orchestral sounds.
