For those of us who use GPO4, or are looking for an orchestra module: While they are still in the process of updating the web site (I just talked to Nick @ Garritan), the Garritan Personal Orchestra has been updated to version 5. It's available for $149.95, or you can upgrade from GPO4 for $49.95. LOTS of new goodies: GPO 5 is five times larger than GPO 4 and offers more than 500 instruments. Some of the additions include: - New Orchestral Strings including 94 section string patches, 33 small sections, and 28 solo strings in a wide range of bow strokes and techniques.
- Seven additional choir groups with 23 patches, including boys’ and children’s choirs as well as sopranos, altos, tenors and basses.
- Updated brass instruments from the renowned ProjectSAM’s “Orchestral Brass Classic.”
- Two new concert grand pianos: a legendary 9’ Model D and a 7’ Model B.
- Completely new harp instruments with harp pedaling emulation, a custom organ console for expanded pipe organ control, more than 16 new impulse response presets, and much more.
New instruments are just part of the GPO 5 package, with many advances also made in new techniques, performance spaces and reverbs, and instrument body resonances. The result empowers musicians to produce truly inspiring symphonic sounds with a much higher level of realism. The current info page is http://www.garritan.com/blog/garritan-personal-orchestra-5-coming-soon/ and their store page does have GPO5 for download. (For another twenty bucks you can get it on a USB stick, but those haven't come in yet, apparently.)

Cool! I'll have to start saving up nickles and dimes. While I love the library, they've really fallen behind.
I was just working with the GPO 4 solo violin yesterday, and it's rather blah. GPO 5 has added a "Solo Violin Gypsy", which has a strong attack and deep vibrato. It's not as good as other libraries on the market, but it's probably worth the upgrade just for that.

Me too! [But lately I feel like I'm being nickle & dimed to death (PG, Cakewalk, IK, NI, iZotope, UVI, Waves, ToonTracks, PreSonus, ...) ![wink wink](/forums/images/graemlins/default/wink.gif) ] Larry

I agree, Larry. It is getting to the point of upgrade fatigue.
I would love to have the latest from IK (I have previously purchased Total Studio and upgraded it, but now the new 64-bit latest versions are available, but the upgrade price is $1000 - well at least I have $64 jam points); from Native Instruments (I have previously purchased Komplete and upgraded to Komplete Ultimate - now the latest version with the new toys is $199 to upgrade from Komplete 8); add in this Garritan upgrade (I have all the previous Garritan libraries), and other stuff I can't even begin to think of right now, and I think I'll need to stay where I am for awhile.
But a man can dream, can't he?

I will point out that Garritan hasn't upgraded GPO for years. Like, four or five. ![smile smile](/forums/images/graemlins/default/smile.gif) I did upgrade to GPO5 yesterday. Great, great sounds. Lots of new stuff. The pipe organs and the choirs in particular are excellent.
