This is but one of many range peculularities in GPO. That one is very
odd, becaue there are four bass clarinet samples, and all have the same
low-range limit. Bass clarinets either stop at low Db or Bb (concert
pitch), never B.
Perhaps you could load a contrabass clar sample in another layer for a
substitute. Right now I am helping my son type out a double bass
concerto piano reduction, and I have to switch back and forth from bass
to cello samples for notes that exceed the upper range of GPO's solo
bass samples, if I want to hear it all.
My GPO range fave is still the bass trombones - "Solo Bass Trombone 2"
is rough sounding, but has one of the widest ranges in the whole set -
high C down to double pedal Bb (lower than any of the tuba samples);
while "Solo Bass Trombone 1" is a quite nice sound that ONLY GOES UP TO
G (top space bass clef). Try finding a bass trombone part anywhere with
that limit.
We are discussing full GPO, right? (Not the reduced Fnale GPO, which
doesn't even have a bass trombone.)

Hello,
Does anyone know why the GPO bass clarinet only goes down to C# (sounding
B)? I thought any bass clarinet with a low-note extension would go down to
C (sounding Bb).
