In terms of what's bundled with GPO, you get lots of stuff for the money (although I haven't really used the stuff on the 4th CD, except for testing Overture). The samples included are exceptionally good, except for the strings (which are pretty limited, but that's of course dependent on what kind of string writing you're going to play back). And you're limited to "normal" orchestral instruments and sounds, I think the WWW page have a list of all included samples. With GPO, you work a bit differently than with normal sound devices, since instrument changes are done by changing channels instead of patch changes. And you probably already know about slurs and dynamics (GPO dynamics are supported by 2005-HP, GPO slurs are not). When it comes to interfacing with Fin2005, here are 2 issues: * The dynamic range is not as large as for the SoftSynth, for example. * The "Expression Hairpin Emphasis" setting in HP conflicts with GPO, as I see it. This setting does 2 things - controls the dynamic range of "hairpin+hairpin" situations (such as <>), and it also controls the volume expression on long notes. The latter is good for "flat" samples, such as the one included in the SoftSynth - but since GPO includes its own expression in the samples themselves, this can produce absurd-sounding results when used with GPO. This HP preference setting should IMO absolutely be separated into 2 different ones!
