I find it really interesting discussing composers' dependence on synth operators, as that does seem to be the norm for Japanese game composers. Over on this side of the world, it's the composer himself that has to account for everything regarding the quality of sound. Life would be much easier to just write the music and let someone else make it pretty. But I digress...
I'm pretty certain that Hamauzu's guy doesn't even use synths anymore, at least for his orchestral sounds. Those are pretty clearly full sample libraries. Whether they're commercial (VSL, EWQL, etc.) or privately sampled is the question I have. You can do some amazing stuff with programming on those though, I've heard some stuff from even string quartets that sounds close to lifelike. In DoC, there's also several live instruments mixed into some of the more mellow tracks, which certainly helps a great deal.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
