I like the sound of that, as I find many orchestra libraries require too much work when it comes to making sections, ensembles, and large patches. There’s some nice full patches in this library. #GARRITAN PERSONAL ORCHESTRA 5 BHPHOTOVIDEO FULL# I really like a lot of the mixtures and blended patches that mix strings and winds, or strings and brass. Some of the things like the harps and keyboards are just ok, nothing too special, but those layered patches are really cool. They also have some ready to go ensembles that are organized by mood/style, I didn’t show them in the video but basically it’s a group of sounds with some layered and some on different MIDI channels. The idea behind that is so that you can quickly pull up a group of instruments that fit a particular mood or musical style you’re working in.
Overall I think there’s a lot of good usable sounds in here, but I also found some things that weren’t that impressive. I think this library does what it says it’s going to do. It gives you quick access to nice sounding ensembles, combinations, and layered instruments. I give Instant Orchestra 4 out of 5 subs, it’s a good sounding library with lots of usable patches in a clean and simple interface. I’ve seen quite a few orchestra libraries over the years, and they keep getting better and better. #GARRITAN PERSONAL ORCHESTRA 5 BHPHOTOVIDEO FULL#.
