I may not need it but I’m curious either way.Welcome to the Vienna Symphonic Library’s series of Synchron Instruments! Vienna Smart Orchestra and its Expansion Pack were created to provide you with a full-fledged symphony orchestra at an affordable price. It will also be interesting to see if I can include GPO instruments in a mix without it being conspicuous. I’m looking forward to playing with it this weekend. There are a number of articulations as well, and from the videos it looks like the volume is velocity sensitive where GPO is controlled by CC 1. Without it, the latter is where VSO is a bit light but I think with the pack it should round out nicely. I bought their expansion pack as well, which added some additional solo instruments. That will be convenient for sketching ideas and playing around. They’ve gone to some effort to make it easy to play it live with a layout that allows sections and pads with the left hand and solo instruments with the right. Vienna Smart Orchestra is nicely done, and of course sounds good as well.
However, I’ll still continue to use it in various scenarios, probably for the individual players in small ensembles or to accompany the other rock / whatever stuff that I do, so all the vst presets I set up along the way will come in handy. So, I really worked hard from every angle to make GPO work in a “grab it and go” template setup but that’s just not the way it’s designed.
I’m sure the pros doing the million dollar film scores could point out countless differences, but to a layman it sounded pretty darned close to me.
Sometimes people would render their GPO version of a classical piece and then do an inter-cut mix with an actual orchestra whose performance they modeled. Years ago when Gary was still running the farm I ran an Internet radio station for him called the Composer Channel to feature the work of GPO users.
