Key Features
Garritan Concert & Marching Band is a comprehensive library of brass, woodwind and percussion instruments that are found in various wind ensembles. This contains many instruments from all families associated with wind bands. Many more instruments per family are included in this than a standard orchestra, more diverse groupings of players are also included to reflect the different sizes of wind ensembles.
This library uses the ARIA player, also used by Garritan's other libraries. ARIA Player is a free software that can either run as a standalone program or as a plug-in (AU, VST or RTAS) in DAWs, sequencers or notation software. This makes Garritan's libraries ideal for many musicians, whether you are a producer in a studio or a live performing musician. ARIA player also features Endless Wave technology for efficient streaming of samples from the hard disk.
Please Note: This product comes in the form of a digital download code that will be sent to your email for activation.

This library contains most instruments within each family of instruments. Such as soprano saxophones to bass saxophones, Eb clarinets to contrabass clarinets and many more obscure types of instruments. Some unique and rare instruments that appear in this library include the sarrusophone, sousaphone and helicon.
This will give your music some unique and uncommon timbres which will make you stand out amongst the crowd. You can also write for instruments you may never have encountered before in your real life practice. Composers who work with marching or concert bands will appreciate the full range of instruments available as often libraries don't include these.
Custom ensemble groupings can be made and saved for later use. Add any combination of instruments you prefer or use pre-set groupings. You can create Concert Bands, Marching Bands, Wind Symphonies and many more. This is all done in the Ensemble Manager integrated into the plugin. You are able to customise the seating arrangements of the players and build your own unique band. With these features you will be able to write music for any instrument combination you need. Perfect if you write for unusual groupings.
Each Garritan library has its own unique integration with the ARIA Player. Garritan Concert and Marching band allows you to use the mod wheel to control the volume and timbre changes for more expressive and realistic sounds. There are note to note variations in sound and intonation to add realism to the samples. You can make overall timbre and note length changes for each instrument as well.
Microphone placement can be altered within the stereo space to suit your production. ARIA also supports Scala files so you can alter the tuning system of the virtual instruments. You can play in historic temperaments or use non-Western tuning systems for your music.
There is an inbuilt reverb in ARIA which allows you to add space to your sounds. Mixing sends for each instrument allows you to control the amount of reverb individually. The convolution reverb allows you to place your sounds in various sampled spaces such as a cathedral, a film score space or a variety of concert halls.
