Garritan library templates! For GPO and JABB
2 Attachment(s)
Hi friends,
I've finally got around to putting together templates for Notation Composer that you can use with the ensembles that come with Garritan Personal Orchestra (GPO) 4, as well as the Garritan Jazz and Big Band (JABB) 3. Notes:
Attachment 668 To use the templates: If you're using XP, then you can unzip the attached bundle of templates into c:\Program Files\Notation\Templates\ If you're using Vista or Win 7, unzip the attached bundle of templates into BOTH (just to cover the bases) of the following: c:\Program Files\Notation\Templates\ c:\Users\Public\Public Documents\Notation\Templates\ After unzipping the files and putting them in the above folder(s), you should see them show up when you use "Create new" in Notation Composer. If you are unable for any reason to copy these template files into the above folders or they don't show up properly in Create New, you can always simply unzip them into any folder, use File/Open in Composer to open them, and then immediately use File/Save as Template to save it to the Template folder for future use. You can then continue to work with the open file, changing the key signature, etc, just as you normally would any .not file (which is really all it is). You'll have already saved a "template" copy for using again later. If you find any problems, or have suggestions for improvements, please do let me know. Enjoy! Sherry |

Hi friends,
For anyone else who would like to create your own templates for any Garritan Libraries, here's my check-list method for creating those templates. 1. Create a new file with a single blank instrument.You can use this method for creating any template, really, just leave out the "extra KS staff", and the "Mod wheel" bits. If you're using the GM grid, then you don't have to worry about matching up channel numbers either ;) Enjoy! Sherry |
Re: Garritan library templates! For GPO and JABB
The videos are a great help, Thanks!
However, having loaded the GPO template I assume that I have also to download some additional software but I cannot find the link. Also when I had tripped over the link (now lost again) it appeard that the software was NOT free. Am I looking in the wrong place? Best Wishes, Ray T |

They are not free, but they are probably the best "bang for the buck" libraries to get really excellent instrument sounds for backing tracks or even just for really nice play-along sounds for practicing with Notation Musician or Notation Composer. I have some, and use them for making backing tracks for musicals and such. With some massaging of the performance parameters in Notation Composer, you can get some really realistic sounding performances. ttfn, Sherry |

Hi friends,
I was reminded by a user query that I should update this thread for the later versions of our software :) Here is the full listing of where to unzip the .not Template files, depending on what version of Musician or Composer you have. v 2.6.3 (which is now considered obsolete and no longer supported) C:\Users\Public\Public Documents\Notation\Templates\ v 3 (latest release is 3.1.4) C:\Users\Public\Documents\Notation_3\Templates v 4 (latest release as of this date 4.0.2) C:\Users\Public\Documents\Notation_4\Templates After unzipping the files and putting them in the above folder(s), you should see them show up when you use "Create new" in Notation Composer. If you are unable for any reason to copy these template files into the above folders or they don't show up properly in Create New, you can always simply unzip them into any folder, use File/Open in Composer to open them, and then immediately use File/Save as Template to save it to the Template folder for future use. You can then continue to work with the open file, changing the key signature, etc, just as you normally would any .not file (which is really all it is). You'll have already saved a "template" copy for using again later. Enjoy! Sherry |
