Finale 2014 for
The Player ("Plr") designation in a Garritan instrument name indicates that it has been designed exclusively for use in an ensemble setting. These Player instruments are derived from the corresponding "Solo" instrument and constructed so that none of the three numbered Player instruments have any samples in common with one another. Each Player instrument has been mapped starting with a different note (e.g. C, C#, D) and uses every third sample in the mapping. This allows all three instruments to be applied to unison ensemble lines without having common samples for any given pitch. For their designed function, these instruments work well together, despite the samples sometimes sounding less than ideal if played by themselves.
Only the "Solo" instruments are intended to be used in a solo context. Also, the "Solo" instrument should never be used along side any of the "Plr" instruments if a unison occurs in the score. Again, this is because the "Plr" instruments all have samples in common with the "Solo" instrument from which they are derived, causing phasing problems.
