GPO packaged short samples that doesn't sound terrible and offered
very, very inexpensively. Garritan deserves credit for that.
But the reality is, you can't ask too much for that price. Before
you ask for gamba sample, I think a lot of users would ask better
solo instrument samples.
When I needed specific length of trumpets section fall or something,
I had to go out and get the sample for my K2600Rs. That's the way
it is with sample players. I still do the same with MachFive. I
just acquired a nice acoustic jazz base sample which I imported to
MachFive.
Well, are samples from other sources going to be compatible with GPO
in Finale? Or is one limited to only what GPO offers?
I honestly don't understand all the implications of this, but it's
all in the future for me, if at all -- part of my ongoing re-
evaluation of whether or not to upgrade Finale.
Any sample set that is in Native Instruments' format should be useable,
according to the publicity. GPO is just one such sample set. You may
be able to find a NI sample set of medieval instruments which you could
purchase and use with Finale2006.
Jari Williamsson's review makes mention of this capability, as does the
publicity at Finale's web-site.
I'm not sure this would/should be the deal-breaker as to whether or not
you upgrade, though. You might want to do a web-search to see if such a
sample set including viole da gamba is available, because if such a
sample set isn't available anywhere, the capability to use other sample
sets than merely GPO won't be useful.
