Garritan Jazz & Big Band At-a-Glance

Thank you for choosing Garritan Jazz & Big Band. The following list presents some of the outstanding

features of the Garritan Jazz and Big Band library:

•

The First Jazz and Big Band Sample Library - Garritan Jazz & Big Band is the first library of its

kind. As of this writing, no sampled library of Jazz and Big Band has existed.

•

A Comprehensive Jazz and Big Band collection - Garritan Jazz & Big Band puts at your

fingertips a complete sample library of Jazz and Big Band instruments along with an integrated

Native Instrument’s KONTAKT™ sample player. It provides all the major instruments you need

for your jazz and big band arrangements.

•

A High-Quality Jazz Instrument collection – The jazz and big band library contains over 50

instruments including sixteen different saxophones, brass instruments with various mutes, a

Steinway ® piano, guitars, acoustic and electric basses, an electric piano, drum kits and other

instruments.

•

No Sampler Required – The entire Jazz & Big Band library is integrated with a Native Instrument

Kontakt™ Player. You will not need to purchase a separate sampler.

•

Ensemble Maker - Garritan Jazz & Big Band provides the instruments you need to build your own

ensembles. You can build your jazz ensembles and big bands one instrument at a time exactly as

you wish. This ensemble making is a key to realistic performances. It lets you create solos, duos,

jazz trios, quartets, jazz ensembles, or a full big band.

•

Intuitive Controls - The controls in Garritan Jazz & Big Band are streamlined and standardized, so

you can quickly become familiar with the library. Advanced functions, such as tongue/slur,

falloffs, doits, growls and automatic variability are easily accessible for realistic results with

minimal effort.

•

Notation Integration to Play from the Score –You can create great-sounding jazz and big band

sounds directly from the score of major notation programs. Check your notation program for

integrated support for the Garritan Jazz & Big Band library. If your notation program does not

provide integrated support, you can use the bundled/downloadable Garritan Studio application to

bridge the Jazz & Big Band library and your notation program.

•

Universal Format - No worries about platform or proprietary formats. Garritan Jazz & Big Band

will work on all popular formats, both Mac and PC, either as a standalone program or as a plug-in

(supporting VST, DXi, RTAS, and OS X AudioUnits). Garritan Jazz & Big Band instruments will

also load into KONTAKT Native Instruments’ flagship sampler (v.1.5 or higher). The entire

library can be loaded on a single PC or laptop with sufficient RAM.

•

Suited for Every Musician . Professional composers can use this collection for quick big band

charts and capturing creative ideas. Hobbyists can use it for adding jazz instrumentation to their

tracks. Beginners or students can use it for scoring projects and studying jazz. The instruments in

this collection can also be used to supplement orchestral sounds.

Garritan JAZZ & BIG BAND Users Guide

Welcome to Garritan Jazz & Big Band

Nothing quite captures the experience of listening to jazz. There is

something unique and alive about the interaction of the players, the

spontaneous improvisation, and the varied styles. Our aims are to give

musicians the tools to play jazz and big band music, to provide

information about jazz and big band music to as many people as possible,

and to promote and encourage jazz and big band music everywhere.

Garritan Jazz & Big Band is the first library of its kind. As of this writing,

no sampled library of Jazz and Big Band has existed. We wanted to do

something special and produce a new kind of library. Jazz instruments are

very expressive, individualistic and the most difficult to accurately

sample. New computing and sampling technology now makes this

possible.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of the individuals who

contributed to this project and made it possible to provide these sounds

and tools for musicians. I would particularly like to thank Tom Hopkins

who has recorded, performed and programmed much of this library. Tom

brings over thirty five years of professional jazz experience and this

product certainly demonstrates Tom’s mastery and musicality.

Garritan Jazz and Big Band is a dynamic library that will evolve and

grow. Please check our website at www.garritan.com for the latest up-to-

date information downloads, updates, FAQs, troubleshooting, helpful

hints and tutorials. It is my hope that this Jazz and Big Band collection

will enable you to make great music that enriches your life.
