The entire orchestral collection is integrated with a new version of the state-of-the-art ARIA Player and works as a virtual instrument plug-in for notation programs (such as Finale), digital audio workstations, and sequencers, or as a standalone player.Among the significant additions to the GPO5 sound library are three new Steinway pianos - a well-balanced Concert D, a mellower Concert D, and a very lively Studio B. I’m excited that this new GPO 5 is a huge leap forward and will continue this revolution in a major way.” “The original Personal Orchestra revolutionized virtual orchestration and became the industry standard. “A press release simply cannot convey the magnitude of GPO 5,” said Gary Garritan, MakeMusic’s director of instrumental sciences.

GPO 5 also incorporates Sonic Morphing, an innovative technology that produces seamless dynamics ranging from the very quietest pianissimo to the loudest, most audacious forte sounds – with a continuous variety of timbre changes along the way.  Completely new harp instruments with harp pedaling emulation, a custom organ console for expanded pipe organ control, more than 16 new impulse response presets, and much more.  Two new concert grand pianos: a legendary 9’ Model D and a 7’ Model B.  Updated brass instruments from the renowned ProjectSAM.

 6 additional choir groups with 24 patches, including boys’ and children’s choirs as well as sopranos, altos, tenors and basses.  77 new section string articulations and 24 new solo string articulations with new techniques, special effects, and body instrument resonances. This update is five times larger than GPO 4 and now offers more than 500 instruments.

GPO 5 features a complete orchestra with strings, brass, woodwinds, percussion, and keyboards. The result empowers musicians to produce truly inspiring symphonic sounds with a much higher level of realism. GPO 5 continues in this tradition by vastly expanding the number of included instruments and offering new techniques, performance spaces and reverbs, and instrument body resonances.
