Only the "Solo" instruments are intended to be used in a solo context. For their designed function, these instruments work well together, despite the samples sometimes sounding less than ideal if played by themselves. This allows all three instruments to be applied to unison ensemble lines without having common samples for any given pitch. C, C#, D) and uses every third sample in the mapping. Each Player instrument has been mapped starting with a different note (e.g. These Player instruments are derived from the corresponding "Solo" instrument and constructed so that none of the three numbered Player instruments have any samples in common with one another. The Player ("Plr") designation in a Garritan instrument name indicates that it has been designed exclusively for use in an ensemble setting.

GARRITAN FULL VERSION
Tip: See Garritan and Human Playback Tutorial for detailed guidance on using Garritan Instruments for Finale and the full version of GPO along side Finale. All sound assignments can be viewed and individually edited in the Score Manager. Sound Maps are ranked in order of priority in the Sound Map Priority dialog box. Finale does this using Sound Maps, which link each instrument with the most appropriate Garritan sound. Whenever you start a new document or add an instrument to your score with the Score Manager, Finale loads the included Garritan sounds automatically (so long as Play Finale Through VST is checked under the MIDI/Audio menu). These steps are not necessary for the included Garritan Instruments for Finale. Noteman says: For the best experience in using a standalone Garritan library with Finale, see Setting up Garritan sound libraries in Finale in our Knowledge Base. These instruments are professionally recorded sound samples designed to offer the highest quality playback. I imagined manatees swimming alongside musicians in a magical wonderland of creation.Included with Finale is an integrated collection of instrument sounds from Garritan Personal Orchestra (also known as GPO) and other Garritan libraries. Gary Garritan gave me an invitation to this awesome world. Browsed through the percussion folders to thrill to the sound of dynamic layers of all those beautiful instruments just for the pleasure of it. I'm sad to say that's when the break occurred. Then along came Herb and the Viennese storm, extremely disruptive and world-changing technology in the Performance Tool for the VSL.
GARRITAN TV
A lot that turned into radio and tv and food. I really did too many notes with that GOS collection. When I play GOS today, it's very much a product of its time. That, after so many keyboards with tiny brains and samplers maxed out, made my eyes pop out of my skull. My first exposure to a real sample library was Peter Siedlaczek's Advanced Orchestra.

So although I have all these fancy samples, when I need a quick demo just so the client can get an idea I use Garritan, and sometimes in mockups they even stay when I get used to that sound and nothing can replace it. Well, that came from instant orchestra also, and there’s not a sound like that anywhere else. And then in the finale of the 7th movement starts with ethereal piano and strings with this whooshing sound that sounds like spirit ghosts quickly weaving in and out of ancient dead ruins. I needed a light organ sound in the 4th movement and Garritan flute organ fit the bill working like a charm. Nothing fancy.Īnd lastly, I have a concerto that will be premiered this August that is for soloist and fixed electronic media. That thing sold like hot cakes especially to low brass players starved for solo works. I simply made an organ demo that the soloist can use to practice to. Then I made a version of Bach’s Fantasia for organ and brass soloists. And the entire last section was just instant orchestra and the client could not tell when I switched from live to samples.
GARRITAN PLUS
Then a professional brass band wanted one of my pieces so I beefed up the original with instant orchestra patches, the ones with warm and natural brass plus some of the cymbals and chimes. Here’s the Garritan track that got me the commission: It was enough money to send my family to the Philippines to help out my wife’s family. They needed it fast, and there was no purpose spending time on a great mock-up, so I simply use Garritan samples in Finale and got the project done. For example, I had a client in Texas that wanted me to turn my arrangement of Amazing Grace into an orchestra and organ piece that I got performed last November in front of 2000 people. You know what? Every time I think I’m done with Garritan I simply think about my last year, and there’s so much that I need to be thankful to Garritan for providing food on my family’s table and a shelter over our heads.
