The problem here is that you end up with a string section which is twice as large as the original, and the sudden increase in size is disturbing to most listeners. two sets of first violin, second violin, viola, and cello (a technique called divisi). For example, say you are writing for string orchestra and want to split the strings into two groups, i.e. This can be handy from creating duets with two different versions of the same instrument, to creating specific-sized groups. With different sampled instruments you not only get rid of the phasing problem, but gain from the richness of the slight differences between the instruments, just as you would with a physical group of them. This allows you to create sections of a specific size without merely duplicating the same instrument, a practice that results in phasing and gives a poor result. One very important feature that might be overlooked is the number of different solo versions of certain instruments. They are more life-like, react more like the physical instruments, sound more ‘present’, and in many cases include more playing techniques.
The most noticeable and important feature is the sound: all of the instruments just sound better than previous versions. Garritan Personal Orchestra 5 (GPO5) is the latest version of the incredibly successful orchestra library that is the best bargain in its category.Version 5 has so many improvements and additions to its predecessor that I have decided to do a series of posts rather than write one book-length post (and yes, there is that much new and worthwhile in this upgrade). I have had a lot of questions about Garritan Personal Orchestra 5 from readers, colleagues, and friends.
