Not to nitpicking but just to be technically correct, I think it is less
confusing to say GPO Studio vs Finale Built-in GPO (I say FinGPO) since
Finale2006 is not really an AU (or VST on Win) host.
And that little fact is a huge mistake on Finale's part, in my opinion.
Finale2006 is obviously a VST/AU host to some degree or it couldn't
work with GPO, but the crippling of the capability is a real sin, in my
opinion.
How much harder would it have been to make Finale2006 a real VST/AU
host, and leave the choice of sample sets to the end user? I probably
wouldn't use it as I'm happy with my sound sources now, but at least I
would know I could explore that if I wanted to, and the choice of sample
sets would be mine to invest in as I saw fit.
Making it a Native-Instruments-only (and apparently not entirely NI,
able to use ALL NI sample collections, at that) VST host is like Ford
making a car that can only run on EXXON High Test gas, although it will
run on any low-test gas we want to use. If Ford and EXXON tried that,
there would be Congresional investigations. With this tiny
niche-of-a-niche-of-a-niche market called notation software, nobody
cares. Nobody, that is, except the end-user for whom real choice isn't
allowed.
