Carl,
That's the SoftSynth, and it's (ostensibly, at least) a harmon mute.
Ah. Doesn't much sound like one, does it?
Do the GPO samples sound any better for Big Band, or does that
require a separate purchase?
Carl,
It's separate, (Garritan Big Band, I mean) as Darcy says, and some of
the instruments sound halfway decent. I like the rhythm section
sounds pretty well, and the brass is tolerable (there are mutes, and
plunger effects built in), flute and clarinet are OK, but the least
successful are the saxophone sounds. If you're looking for a sketch
tool, it's not bad - better than the charcoal sketch the police use
to catch a suspect. Trouble with all of these is that as they get
better, you only realize more acutely how little they resemble human
music.
My 2c.
