I don't know if this explains it or not, but I had some problems getting the GPO to work at all. I was trying an organ piece that I set the staves to channels 4, 5 & 6 in the instrument list. However, I loaded the GPO sounds into the first 3 slots (which default to channels 1, 2 & 3). Messing around with OMNI did get me the organ sounds, but not in the way I wanted. So, I loaded the GPO sounds into slots 4, 5 & 6 and everything worked fine. So, whatever channels are in the instrument list are the channels you need to load the GPO sounds into. (It should be noted that each slot in the Kontakt player, where you load the GPO sounds, can be changed to whatever channel you want it to, but it doesn't affect the instrument list. So, load the GPO sounds into the same channels specified by the instrument list). > I still > find the soundfont playback to be perfectly fine for playback and for demos. Considering the excessive system demands GPO has and the ready availability of free soundfounts on the internet - there is a nice english organ soundfont floating around out there for free and many orchestra soundfonts - I'm quite content with the smartsynth soundfont or even the Roland VSC for playback and demos.
