View Full Version : GPO is Wrecking My Sleep!

Well, shucks, I have been spending so much time messing with GPO that my sleep time has been insufficient! I have been recording things like Kitten on the Keys, Dill Pickles Rag, Bumble Boogie, Percy Grainger's adaptation of the Tchaikowsy Piano Concerto,a really rousing rendition of Turkey in the Straw and Beer Barrel Polka (the Liberace version) and writing a few more organ works of my own. No darn time to sleep! This update just grabs me and won't let go!
Next up will be an adaptation of the Grieg Piano Concerto, Malaguena (Lecuona, which I did a poor job on at my senior class recital in 1949), and Brahms Hungarian Dance Nr. 5. Sleep gets pushed farther into the background. Shame on you guys for making such a great program and depriving a retired ol fogey of his needed sleep!
This is so much more realistic than I thought possible. Can't get enough of it! (Seem like when I was younger, I said that about other things.)

I understand Richard, but the solution is obvious:
1) Stop Spending Time With Family and Friends. Life is short, so to waste precious time helping out your mother, or aiding a friend in need, simply needs to be stopped. Inform all your loved ones that you no longer care!
2) Economic Commitments? Forget Them. If you have a day job, arrange an "accident" so that you can live lucratively off of the disability money. (Make sure you get a really good lawyer to help you do this!)
3) Coffee, Coffee, and More Coffee While you may still need to sleep, you'll nether want to nor be able to. And you'll find you have lots of time to tweak with GPO. :D

I work nights and go to school in the day - GPO has REALLY been a sleep killer for me too! But I am not complaining. I have been dreaming of having something like this for most of my 33 years!

Richard,
Let the fruits of your labor be hear by the ears of those who appreciate the time you spend with GPO! I for one would love to hear your GPO renditions of the above mentioned songs and musical works.
I bet when you do get some sleep you sleep better than before knowing how well GPO has satisfied your musical tastes and needs!
You have just got to love this library of sounds! Tonight, I messed with several musicals I had midied in the past ten years and now with GPO! What a God sent Mr. Gary Garritan is to this wonderful world of music. A very special library indeed.
Now, I order you to shut down and get some decent sleep, sir! NOW! :D

Well, I took a decent nap, had some good French Roast coffee, and was refreshed enough to to a bunch of GPO stuff!! Got lots of pieces finished, but not yet established a place to upload them so they can be heard.
Actually, I have yet to make the mp3's, but that is easy. Takes approximately playing time plus 2 minutes.
This new update is amazing. I don't often turn on my Roland JV1010 now. Who needs it? It just got better, because I downloaded the Cakewalk VST Adapter, and now don't have to load GPO Studio.

I've been running Cakewalk products since the day I discovered that Greg Hendershott had created a better sequencer that I could.

OK, I have HomeStudio 2004XL in the piano edit roll there is no modulation to work with. Is there an update do you know of? Also, where do I find the VST plug in for HS if there is one?
Thanks.

The VST adapter can be downloaded from Cakewalk, for registered users of cakewalk products, present reduced price is $39.00. Fast dowload, easy to use if you are not short on sleep.
Do you mean that there is no choice for modulation, or nothing is visible? If nothing visible, that is normal, as for piano, I don't see a need, since even in GPO the piano is velocity driven. The only time you are likely to see anything there is if you have used the GPO midi plug-in and mapped velocity to modulation, or using a synth module, have entered some modulation data to the event list.
I have not looked at Home Studio for a while, so I don't know for sure what is going on. Later today, I will see if I can find something useful.

Well, I just fired up Home Studio (2002). No problems with modulation showing in the piano roll view. If you look at the menu item which shows velocity as default, select modulation, and there it is -- provided you have some modulation to display. So if you have the GPO midi filter, and have mapped velocity to modulation, it should work fine. Just don't forget that pianos are not controlled by modulation. Probably also percussion. I don't use percussion very much -- not much demand for percussion and fugues for pipe organ!
You probably don't really need the VST adapter, unless you are overloading your resources. I tried HS with the VST adapter, and with GPO Studio, and prefer the GPO Studio, which I will probably continue to use with Sonar unless I get into situations more demanding of my resources than I presently require.
I have not looked to see if an update to Home Studio is available.
