GARRITAN Personal Orchestra Third Edition - An Entire Symphony Orchestra For Your Computer - For Mac and PC

Garritan Personal Orchestra combines a comprehensive orchestral sample library with Native Instruments' state-of-the-art KONTAKT player plug-in.

Following the award-winning Garritan Orchestral Strings, Gary Garritan has created a complete 'Orchestra for Every Musician' that is elegant, easy-to-use and such great value.

Personal Orchestra will run on Mac OS and Windows platforms, either as a standalone program or as a plug-in (supporting VST, DXi, RTAS, and OS X AudioUnits). Personal Orchestra instruments will also load into KONTAKT, Native Instruments' flagship sampler. The entire orchestra can be loaded on a single PC or laptop and is designed to run completely in RAM.

Personal Orchestra contains samples of all the major instruments in a symphony orchestra-strings, brass, woodwinds, and percussion-as well as instruments not found in other orchestral libraries-a Steinway(r) concert grand piano, a Stradivarius violin, Wurlitzer and Venus concert harps, Haynes flutes, Heckel bassoons, a Mustel celeste, a Rudolf von Beckerath concert pipe organ, a harpsichord, and many other exquisite instruments. It even includes multiple solo instruments. Everything one needs to create orchestrations of any size!

Unique Feature: Ensemble Maker
Personal Orchestra lets you construct ensembles and sections of different sizes from specially designed solo instruments, each comprising a unique set of samples. This feature allows you to build duos, trios, quartets and larger ensembles and sections as you see fit.

Easy to Use:
Personal Orchestra allows you to create realistic sounding orchestral music quickly and easily, right "out of the box." No confusing list of articulations, no complicated set of controls, and no steep learning curve. Just load an instrument and play. Personal Orchestra makes it easy to express your musical ideas in record time. And it's compact enough to run on a laptop computer for the musician on the go.

Intuitive Controls:
The controls in Personal Orchestra are streamlined and standardized, so you can become familiar with the library quickly. This optimized system allows you to master all the instruments with relative ease and confidence. Advanced functions, such as alternating bow strokes and automatic variability, help you produce more realistic sounding performances with minimal effort. Personal Orchestra allows you to express your musical ideas quickly and easily.

Expandable:
Personal Orchestra will offer new feature sets and will expand as your needs grow. Add-on instruments, features and enhancements will be offered so your investment is protected as technology progresses.

An Orchestra for Every Musician:
Whether you're a professional film composer who needs to produce orchestral mockups at a moment's notice, a hobbyist who wants to create great sounding orchestral music, or a student who is studying the art and craft of orchestration, Personal Orchestra will simplify creative work at a price that won't break the bank. In the studio, at home or on the road, Personal Orchestra is for every musician.

"There is so much great content in GPO that we just don't have the room here to detail it all, but we feel sure it will be a huge hit with budding composers who want truly authentic sounds. With Personal Orchestra, Gary Garritan has not only triumphed in providing a pro-sounding sample library that covers an entire orchestra, he has also succeeded in adding performance elements that give it an extra dimension. Given GPO's price, these are pretty impressive feats." - Computer Music

"While GPO has an obvious market for beginners, it also offers a degree of professional appeal for anyone looking to sketch out orchestral arrangements with a single computer. For composers and arrangers chasing deadlines, and musicians who like to get fast results, GPO could be the perfect solution." - Sound on Sound
