but don't forget, Noel said that none of these samples were tweaked at all! It's generally true that tweaked MIDI can get you closer to a realistic sound than raw MIDI. #164925 - 07/08/12 06:06 AM Re: Speaking of Garritan.Īll of those demos sound pretty good. As you can see, GPO is part of these (#24). This second image shows the different families of instrument.

There are whole heap of other instruments, too.

The image below shows about three-quarters of the strings that are available in Dimension Pro 1.5.

I converted it to mp3 using Free Audio Converter. The MIDI file was assembled in Reaper and rendered as a WAV. There's room for improvement (such as changing note attacks, individual volumes, tone, etc.) but I thought you might like to hear the raw product. I have not played around with the sound at all. What you hear is exactly as it came from the MIDI.

I recently purchased it as an upgrade from Dimension Pro LE for $49 and it's brilliant. To play a single chord in piano style doesn't always do orchestral ensembles justice, although often as padding no one notices the difference. My experience is that it's the texture of the harmony that is a large contributor to the authentic quality of the sound. counterpoint 3-, 4- or 5-part harmony etc.). One of the reasons that putting together a good string section can be elusive is because string parts (and also woodwind ensembles) are often written from a classical harmony perspective (i.e. I'm a hobbyist, not a pro, so what sounds good to me might be totally unacceptable to somebody with more discerning ears.

The strings in GPO got closer to the sound I was looking for than any of the othersĪs always, your mileage may vary. I tried it with a bunch of string sound fonts, my Roland hardware synth, Coyote forte and some GM soundfonts.

I use Bach's prelude in G major as a benchmark for strings, because it is a very expressive piece with a lot of nuance if its played well. for example, you can control sustain, reverb and a bunch of other thigs (I'm not at my music computer at the moment or I'd open it up and give you a real rundown) The Aria player also has some built-in controls that are very useful without having to resort to CCs. You can use CCs to create string swells, changes in velocity to change the attack etc.

If you take time to tweak the MIDI, their samples seem to be layered enough to provide many of the sounds that are possible from stringed instruments. I have GPO not Garritan Instant Orchestra.
