No Sampler Required

Ensemble Maker
Garritan Personal Orchestra provides individual instruments from which you can build your own ensembles and sections the way you want. Construct solos, duos, trios, quartets, chamber groups, ensembles, sections and even full symphony orchestras
Notation Integration to Play from the Score
Garritan pioneered the use of samples with notation programs and remains at the forefront of notation playback. You can play your orchestrations directly from your Sibelius score. Garritan Personal Orchestra integrates seamlessly and automatically reads and interprets performance indications such as articulation marks, playing techniques, slurs and dynamics (including hairpins on sustained notes). This provides an exceptionally lifelike performance of your score. You can even export an audio file from the score
Universal Format
Supports all popular formats for Mac and PC - as a stand-alone program or as a plug-in (VST, DXi, RTAS, and Mac OS X Audio Units). Plus, it works with supported notation programs. An entire orchestra can be loaded onto a single PC or laptop
Suited for Everybody
Professional film composers can use this collection for quick orchestral sketches and capturing creative ideas. Hobbyists can use it for adding orchestrations to their tracks. Educators and students can use it for scoring projects or studying orchestration. Imagine orchestrating on a beach, on a plane or just about anywhere else
