This means the timbral differences between instrument variations are much more pronounced than those found in the Player variations sometimes, instrument variations even have different ranges. On the other hand, instrument variations are samples of different real-world instruments, often made by different manufacturers, and usually played by different players. As discussed above, the Player variations are all derived from the same Solo instrument - for instance, Bb Clarinet Player 1, Bb Clarinet Player 2, and Bb Clarinet Player 3 are based on Bb Clarinet Solo. In Garritan Personal Orchestra, there are sometimes multiple instrument variations in addition to the Player variations. See Performance Tips for more information about polyphony. One final difference is that the Solo instruments all default to 1-note polyphony. However, because all the Player variations are derived from a single Solo instrument, you should avoid mixing Solo and Player versions of the same instrument.Īnother difference between the Solo and Player instruments is that the Solo instruments sometimes have a different timbre - this is especially true of Flute Solo, which has a much more pronounced and expressive vibrato than any of the Player flutes. That’s why when Player 1, Player 2, and Player 3 are all playing in unison, it sounds like three different players - because each Player instrument uses a different sample when playing the same note. Moreover, each individual Player instrument uses a different subset of samples - in other words, none of the samples used in a Player 1 instrument are shared by the Player 2 or Player 3 instruments, etc. On the other hand, each Player instrument is derived from a Solo instrument, and contains only a subset of all the samples used in that Solo instrument pitch-shifted versions of a nearby sampled note fill in the gaps. This is because almost every note of a Solo instrument is a separate sample (i.e., recording of that note). The Solo instruments use more memory than the Player instruments. Garritan instruments like Piccolo Solo, Flute Solo, Oboe Solo, etc., are designed to be used when your score has only one instrument of that type - for instance, in a piece for wind quintet, you would normally use Flute Solo, Oboe Solo, Bb Clarinet Solo, Bassoon Solo, and French Horn Solo. These Player variations all have slight differences in timbre and intonation and are designed to be used together in a flute section - this way, unison lines played by two or three flutes sound like authentic unisons, instead of sounding like a single flute. Garritan instruments like Flute Player 1, Flute Player 2, and Flute Player 3 are best used when your score/ensemble has multiple players of that instrument type - for instance, if your score calls for three flutes, you would probably want to assign the Flute 1 staff (or layer) to Flute Player 1, the Flute 2 staff/layer to Flute Player 2, and the Flute 3 staff/layer to Flute Player 3. This section will discuss the differences between these variations and how best to use each one. These contain options such as “Player 1,” “Player 2” and "Solo".
