I'm going to retract my complaints about the GPO solo violin. I spent some time playing with it, and while the results aren't as intense as the Gypsy violin, the results are good enough for me:

GPO Solo Violin Test

The "plain" legato instrument is nice, but it really helps to insert MIDI events - especially the pitch wheel (for sliding into notes) and the mod wheel (Garritan uses it to control volume).

I'm not sure I could use it for a fiddle, because it doesn't have the same sort of "bite", but at least I have no excuse not to use it anymore.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?
