Hi Raymond, To clarify your comment a little, there is only one actual sampled bass clarinet included in full GPO (Bass Clarinet Solo). The Player instruments -- Bass Clarinet Player 1, Player 2, and Player 3 -- are all what are called derivative instruments, which means they are derived

Hi Darcy, Excellent solution. Thanks for the info. Rather than buy JABB (and parhaps even Garritan Marchng Band) for some of the instruments, I keep waiting for the Advanced GPO, whhich I hope will include improvements from both. Anyone know anything about Advanced GPO? Raymond

Hi David, This is a longstanding and very annoying bug with GPO and FinGPO -- please write to Garritan and/or MakeMusic and ask that it be corrected. (This won't be much help to you, but the JABB bass clarinet has the low (sounding) Bb... ) - Darcy - [EMAIL PROTECTED]

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

It might help to know what type of system you have as well. GPO can take a lot of horsepower when you have 8 instruments running. Sounds, due to the load time, that you might not have something that can run GPO well. Or you might not have enough memory. Or both. On a 2.5 Gigahertz Athlon with
