THOUGHTS I was using the Garritan and the Aria Player from Finale 2012. Some are: Ableton Live, FL Studio, Logic Pro X, Cubase, Pro Tools, Studio One, Reason, Reaper, Digital Performer, Bitwig Studio, Samplitude Pro X, GarageBand (Mac), Cakewalk by BandLab, Presonus Studio One, Tracktion Waveform. As a bit of follow-up, I purchased Garritan Personal Orchestra 5 (GPO 5) recently.

Tip: Save banks created by Finale’s Setup Wizard for reuse in your DAW Digital Audio Workstation. Keyswitches in Garritan start at C–2 – that’s the C five octaves below middle C – and ascend chromatically. Maybe the presence of this sample in the Finale default set led to the omission of this commonly used sample from GPO How can I reset a keyswitch in Garritan? Many techniques that are possible with Human Playback are not included in the Finale defaults, but the means to set them are available Where’s my violin tremolo? The installer omits essential connective files that must be installed manually. If the instruments still cant be loaded, check to be sure youve typed in the samples folder path correctly. When you are done editing these keys, close the Registry Editor and try loading instruments through the ARIA Player. Topics include Getting Started with Garritan Personal Orchestra Note that this may take some time: Garritan Personal Orchestra 4 has 54 of these folders.
