<div dir="ltr">I have the great Garritan Personal Orchestra (<a href="http://www.garritan.com/products/personal-orchestra-4/">http://www.garritan.com/products/personal-orchestra-4/</a>) and have used it successfully (on 64-bit Arch) – I haven’t touched it for 1.5 years, and it doesn’t load at the moment, but I’m also on a terribly out-of-date Arch version at the moment. It definitely worked beautifully back then.<div>
It’s not native to Linux, but with the help of SAVIHost (<a href="http://www.hermannseib.com/savihost.htm">http://www.hermannseib.com/savihost.htm</a>) through Wine it will load perfectly. Presets can be saved. I think it only allows a minimum of 256 frames per period, though.</div>
<div>Miroslav Philharmonik from IK Multimedia (<a href="http://www.ikmultimedia.com/products/philharmonik/">http://www.ikmultimedia.com/products/philharmonik/</a>) works in the same way, but I like GPO a lot more.</div></div>

<div text="#000000" bgcolor="#FFFFFF">Right now I'm using Fluidsynth running a soundfont which I customized a good bit, but it's just not quite what I want; I want it recognizably a string section, 88-key range, rumbly power in the low, smooth but a definite
bit of fuzz in mids and highs. I'll take any technology, and will do payware, as long as it runs well on 64-bit Arch Linux. Anyone got a recommend?<br>
