Such flexibility, such tone, what a price tag! And difficult to use? You bet! So GPO and later JABB were a bit of a breath of fresh air. I had purchased Garritan Orchestral Strings and it was awesome. To put things in perspective - at the time GigaStudio ruled the world.
It really seems as if Gary set out to build a learning tool. I thought both of them were brilliant learning tools! While the sounds may not be quite as good (in some cases) or nearly as broad as those found in the Kontakt Factory Library they are organized in such a way that you will learn a lot about MIDI orchestration and arranging. And it requires the Aria player, which has not received a lot of attention in the ensuing years.
And you will be limited in the articulations you can choose from. The samples in both GPO and JABB run the gamut from brilliant to poor, which is very unfortunate.
