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. 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 PERSONAL ORCHESTRA REVIEW 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.
