...and a great string library for it? I have a friend who turned up raving
about the Garritan string library for Gigastudio but it only seems to work
on PC.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

For strings on OSX I currently use Garritan Personal Orchestra, the
Native Instruments Kontakt sampler, the EXS sampler in Logic (and my
acoustic violin and viola :^)

Both EXS and Kontakt claim to load Giga stuff, not sure if it works in
all cases. You might ask Garritan, they would know if their giga version
would translate.

Cheers,

Does the Garritan Personal Orchestra run as a virtual instrument by itself?


By the way - Actually playing violin and viola is cheating!

Yep, it comes with a Native Instruments player app that runs as AU in
Logic and elsewhere. The player will run several of Garritan's
instrument collections.

For all things Garritan, go here:
