I just wanted to give a big thanks to Squids for suggesting I contact Allen, and to Allen for working out a crossgrade from the Miroslav CE version to the full version. It arrived today and is installing now.

Edit: Sorry, it's a crossgrade from SampleTank. I just liked the CE version so much that I wanted the full version.

Well, it's a lot bigger than CE, many more instruments and articulations. CE was a tease. I upgraded from CE because I like the sound a lot and it's different enough from GPO that I can find uses for both.sylva wrote:So what about it?

Just a quick note to say that I have the Refill version of the Garritan Personal Orchestra and the Garritan Pocket Orchestra that comes with Dimension LE.
The 2 versions don't remotely compare. Like you I find the Pocket Orchestra to be basically unusable. The Personal Orchestra on the other hand is quite usable. I wouldn't compare the Pocket Orchestra to the Philharmonic Orchestra thinking that you are getting an accurate comparison of how it might stack up against the Personal Orchestra.
IMO the Pocket Orchestra is more of a "wet your mouth" extremely cut down demo of the Personal Orchestra.

I thought the Pocket Orchestra was terrible. I'm use to GPO and GOS.SuperFly76 wrote:Just a quick note to say that I have the Refill version of the Garritan Personal Orchestra and the Garritan Pocket Orchestra that comes with Dimension LE.

I just purchased Miroslav CE and now I'm wondering if this is a "downloadable version" at all
Like with the recent ReTank GB I thought I will just receive an activation code and download at IK Multimedia. Does anyone know?
Thanks,

I'm pretty sure that it's a boxed version - was there a shipping charge on your order?

It turns out it's the boxed version. However there was no shipping fee. I asked Allen how he's going to handle that, but he hasn't replied yet. Not that I worry about free shipping
