This library has plenty of articulation and real time control build in using midi cc, sustain pedals, and key switching.įor me a great orchestral library has to have good sounding strings, solo and section, as well as some nice brass and woodwinds. Sure some of the larger libraries offer a little more in terms of various forms of articulation instruments, etc, but that comes with a cost of size and loading time. I’ve had the opportunity to play with and use multiple orchestral libraries, some of the largest ones around, some that cost a pretty penny, but I wasn’t even the slightest bit let down when playing this library. This is really all that matters and to my ears this orchestra delivers.
It let’s you build your own ensembles as well as has some preset ensembles for quick creation. It includes every major instrument of an orchestra like brass, strings, percussion, keyboards, and woodwinds. In short, this is a complete orchestral library that can easily run on your laptop/computer without bringing it to it’s knees. Garritan has been around for quite a while, I had some garritan libraries back in the akai sampler days, and it’s always been a huge bang for the buck.īeing able to deliver a complete orchestral library for a size and price that works for pretty much anyone, is a task in itself. Now, we know there are tons of huge orchestral libraries available, but I have a feeling that many aren’t really looking for something that deep…or expensive. One of the questions I get asked, at least 1 or 2 times a week is “what instrument is good for strings and orchestral stuff?” Overall, version 5 continues the software's tradition of value and flexibility, and is a superb option for the thrifty producer looking for quality orchestral sounds in a flexible, easy-to-use package.Today I’m checking out another product from The dynamic transitioning in GPO4 was already good, and the improvements to it are subtle but welcome. GPO5 is a solid if not earth-shattering update, and although the mixer could be more powerful, at this price, that's by no means a deal-breaker. What's more, with quick loading (the whole Garritan Orchestral Strings bank is a nimble 4GB), string programming feels even more achievable and fun. Throw in first and second violins and you have the sort of sonic flexibility that's often lacking in string libraries at this price point.
#Garritan orchestra library full
The biggest addition, though, is a significant chunk of the original Garritan Orchestral Strings library, comprising a vast array of sonically consistent articulations, both as individual and keyswitched patches, and ranging from solo instruments and small sections (two to six players), to much bigger ensembles and a full orchestral string section. Oh, and there's a new harp (Concert Grand), which uses MIDI controllers to mimic the pedals of the real thing. The new pipe organ, Custom Organ Console, includes 74 stops, and the choir sample set now includes a selection of Aah, Ooh, Oh and Eeh articulations across six sections (soprano, alto, tenor, bass, boys and children).Īmong the main brass instruments (trumpet, French horn, trombone and tuba) are some excellent solo and ensemble marcato, staccato and sustain patches courtesy of Project SAM.
Two new sets of timpani provide a bright and a more rounded option, while a set of four orchestral toms with single hit, roll and flam articulations further expand the percussion palette.
Among the significant additions to the GPO5 sound library are three new Steinway pianos - a well-balanced Concert D, a mellower Concert D, and a very lively Studio B.
