[Finale] GPO trumpets
Does anyone know how the trumpets sound in the included 2006/GPO package. Or, does anyone know when the jazz library or the maeching library will be avilable. Darcy, I suspect you know at least how the trpts sound in 2006. The on board Fin.2005 sounds are very weak. I do more marching band, big band & horn section for sessions than any other writing work. For years, I've been using 2 Rolland U-220's, 2 Proteus's and a Korg O1WR because I've needed more honkin' type sections. Now desktop real estate is an issue and I just want to get rid of all that stuff. Also, another problem that's been discussed (but I'm not clear if it's being addressed), is the future of accessing more than one sound source in Fin. playback. In particular, the on board marching perc. sounds in 2005 (Roll-Loff) are great but, will I be able to use them in conjuntion with Garritan marching horns?
