I use clarinets for this - they are far from ideal, but it's what I
do when I'm in that kind of a jam.

After using FinMac 2003a for years, I downloaded 2006b on my Mac
Powerbook and started playing around with it a little. I input a
few measures using trumpets and timpani, just to see what I've been
missing with the GPO orchestra. The sounds are amazing!
However, and this is a big however for me...I use Finale for
preparing modern performing editions of primarily 18th and early
19th Century sacred Latin church manuscripts for chorus and
orchestra. Since there are no "voice" sounds in the GPO sound list,
I chose some instruments from the GPO instrument list, and then
went to the non GPO list (sorry, not really familiar with the terms
in 2006 yet) and added a soprano voice line. I then got a dialogue
box that said I could either play the GPO sounds, or MIDI sounds,
but not both at the same time. Ouch!!!
Any thoughts on this, or are most of you folks just doing either
instrumental or vocal music, but not the kind of stuff I am with
both chorus and orchestra on a regular basis? I'd love to be able
to do a playback of my choral editions with the GPO orchestral
sounds there.
Any thoughts?
