Gary Garritan Personal Orchestra Sample Library at a Glance:
  • High-quality orchestral instruments
  • No sampler required
  • Real-time, playable instruments and Ensemble Maker
  • Notation integration

High-quality orchestral instruments
Personal Orchestra includes an amazing collection of expertly sampled orchestral instruments. Quality instruments such as a Steinway® grand piano, Stradivari and Guarneri violins, concert harps, celesta, concert pipe organ, and many other fine instruments are included.

No sampler required
The collection comes integrated with the acclaimed KONTAKT 2 sample player from Native Instruments and works as a virtual instrument - there's no need to purchase a separate sampler. You can adjust a number of parameters - variability, tuning and other audio characteristics - so you can control the sound of each instrument individually.

Real-time, playable instruments and Ensemble Maker
There's no piecing together samples after the fact, or piecing together articulations. The instruments in Personal Orchestra were designed to be played in real-time. Play articulations and get expressive human-sounding performances. You can build your own ensembles and sections the way you want. Construct solos, duos, trios, quartets, chamber groups, ensembles, sections or a full symphony orchestra.

Notation integration
Garritan pioneered the use of samples with notation programs and remains at the forefront of notation playback. You can play your orchestrations directly from the score of supported notation programs. Personal Orchestra integrates seamlessly and automatically reads and interprets performance indications such as articulation marks, playing techniques, slurs and dynamics (including hairpins on sustained notes) to make full use of this collection's advanced sample programming, providing an exceptionally lifelike performance of your score. You can even export an audio file from the score.

Universal format
Personal Orchestra supports all popular formats, Mac and PC, as a standalone program or as a plug-in (VST, DXi, RTAS, and OS X AudioUnits), works with supported notation programs, and will also load into KONTAKT 1 or 2 Native Instruments' flagship samplers. An entire orchestra can be loaded on a single PC or laptop.

Gary Garritan Personal Orchestra Sample Library Features:
  • Includes KONTAKT 2 sample player
  • Integrates with notation programs
  • Plug-in support for VST, DXi, RTAS, and AudioUnits
  • Real-time playability
  • A range of articulations for great expression

GPO: A Dream come true

by Russell from Bay Area

Music Background: music fanatic
Lets get the bad stuff out of the way first.
It's annoying that if your computer goes into sleep mode, when it comes out, you have to restart the computer to be able to use it again (has someth... read more [+]ing to due with Authorization). Some of the instruments have certain notes that crack and pop, but it's ok because there are always many different samples of the same instrument to choose from. For example, a few of the notes on a french horn click, but there are like 10 different french horn sample sets you can choose from, so 9/10 of them work fine.
The solo violins and cellos don't sound too good. But then again, if they did, who would buy Garritans Strad Violin and Cello for $199 each? :P

Ok so now the good stuff. WOAH! $199 for all this?!
The instruments are fantastic! The strings blow me away, they are perfectly realistic in every way. I couldn't believe how good the piano sounded. The piano alone should be worth at least $200. I like this piano better than what Ivory has put out. The flutes, harps, woodwinds, french horns, tubular bells, etc....all sound so good. close [-]
