General Discussion / Re: Garritan Personal Orchestra
I've been using Noteworthy for absolutely yonks now (since I got it on a magazine cover floppy disk in the 90s), but only just discovered there was a community of people discussing my favourite software! So hello everyone, and I hope it doesn't matter that this topic is a couple of months old, but I thought I'd add my 2p...

I'm on Vista (32-bit) and use a combination of the absolutely stonking free VSTHost (You'll have to Google it, I'm not allowed to post links) and MIDIYoke to host Garritan. I've had no problems with the version of MIDIYoke intended for NT.

This solution also allows me to use other VST instruments concurrently, making the sounds coming out of NWC rather good.
My only crit of this solution is the balance is poorly handled when compared with using a sequencer (such as Cubase) to do the job. However it's good enough to give me really good instant feedback on my intended sounds as I compose/transcribe/whatever fun job I'm using NWC for on that particular day.
Does anyone else use VST instruments like this?
