Contest: Name the New Garritan Sampler

[Garritan]

The new sampler is being received very well at NAMM. The Drag and Drop positioning system is being shown with the new sampler.

The Authorized Steinway Piano is also being demoed in the new sampler. I'll post some screenshots of the piano interface after NAMM.

We do not have a name for the new sampler yet and thought we would ask our users to present some names for consideration.

If we like the name you chose we will suppply you with some free libraries.

Looking forward to hearing your suggestions.

Garritan Sampl-O-Matik!!

just kiddin' :D

I think it will be easier when whe know more about it, so maybe the name could have some relation with the technology used in it.

Anyway, I'll try as soon as I have some ideas (now it's 8:35 in the morning here, and I'm asleep)

he he. OK, maybe not.

I can see why you are having a contest. Coming up with a name is hard.

[Richard N.]

Here are a few (spot the obvious inspiration from the press release!)

Garritan Sound Stage

Virtual Sound Stage

Positional Sample Player

Spatial Sample Player

[Davidart]

G.U.S Garritan Universal Sampler

or Garritan Library Sampler

Fantastic Garry!!:). Looks like theres going to be some more great music software for 2007.

David

[nikolas]

I wonder if names like the one to follow can be copyrighted, or patented or whatever:

THE new sampler!

simple efficient, humourus. Defines exactly what this program is. It is the NEW sampler. the new SAMPLER! You can expand it at need. The new Garritan Sampler, The new sampler by Garritan, and so on...

And no I'm only half kidding not fully...

why not having everyone stop using the word sampler, because sampler would mean a Garritan product! That WOULD be swell (probably undoable, but still...)

[Davidart]

Garritan Virtual Stage.

David

[Maestro-D]

Howz about:

The Sampler, from Garritan, or

The G-Sampler,

Cheers, ColinD

[Jerry W.]

OK, here's a more serious attempt:

Garritan RealSpaces Sampler

Seriously Gary,

I thinking sticking to "RealSpaces" in the name, if this will load other Garritan sample libraries, and not just the newest ones, is important. I assume you will have different stages to choose from, etc.


That is my vote.

Best of luck with the new sampler! John

[teebones]

Gos is already a name for one of the products:

Garritan Orchestral Strings (GOS for short):p

[trentpmcd]

My first thought is Garritan Revolutionary Orchestral Space Sampler but I’m sure GROSS has been taken…. And I'm sure My Sample Space is too....

G-SASS - Garritan Sampler and Sound Stage or G-SASSE (pronounced "sassy") Sampler and Sound Stage Environment.

How about Garritan Universal Environment for Spatial Sampling (GUESS?) Nah….

Garritan Environment for Multidimensional Sampling (GEMS)? Nah…. (though GMS – Garritan Multidimensional Sampler - wouldn’t be bad… or GMDS… no, GMS is better)

OK seriously, a simple GSS – Garritan Spatial Sampler might be best.

There is also Virtual Sound Stage or Virtual Sample Space (Garritan Sample Space) which aren't too bad.

If we like the name you chose we will suppply you with some free libraries.Nice, we could use more reading material. :p
How about ... no, to suggestive. Ah, yeah ... what about ... nope, been there done that. Hey, here's one for ya! ... Naw, I don't thing GVDD is proper sounding (;) ) Well, maybe it's fine the way it is? Garritan Virtual Drop & Drag Sampler. Yes? Ezz Goodt, No? Maybe? Not? Yes? :D
Eh, what ever you decide doesn't matter as long as it is a Garritan product! :)

(and thus not scathered throughout this thread).
If you have a new name idea, edit your initial post by adding the name to it.

I understand your thought process, however, the problem with editing your own posts to add with new ideas is that if you accidentally duplicate someone else's idea, it might appear that you thought of it first - thereby making the "competition" a little unfair.

Garritan Tru-Sound system (abbreviated GTS)

'Garritan Tru-Sound' gets trademarked

.... spell it True or Tru as you wish ...

.... advertising can play off the GPS location implication
'place your sounds exactly where they belong in the mix'
'no more instruments lost in the mix'
'your instruments will never get lost again'

... advertising can connect with the spatial implication of RealSpaces
'place real instruments in real spaces, for the unparalleled realism of Tru-Sound (TM)'

... and on and on.

i didnt had time to read all the previous proposal...
so maybe mine are duplicate... don't blame for this! :-)

Garritan Express Stage

Garritan Palcoscenico (or Garritan Palco): Palco / Palcoscenico are the italian words for the stage of a theater, where the actors/musician plays

Garritan theātrum (the latin word for "theater")


maybe also without "garritan" in the name, but as for now is a trademark so i'm sure that Gary want its name on all his products! :D

[lupo]

How about

Garritans Virtual Orchestra Pit

GVOP ?

[Mitch Manthe]

It looks like this thread has the potential to surpass the "delete This" thread if we keep coming up with more names. So I'll enter my choice(s):

GPO My Way!

"Drag and Drop" dead GPO (nah, way too over the top and morbid)

"My Garritan Orchestra Drag and Drop" (My GODD)

[marce]

I like when musical related things are used for instruments products.

An italian word would be nice, but i see that they have been used extensively in music software products (Finale, Vivace, Fortissimo, In Crescendo, Piano, Cadenza, Concerto, Sonata, Cantabile,etc) if someone could be used, maybe "Bravo!" would be nice.

Other nice idea is to use something related to music, like "Sibelius" or "Mozart".
Since i like Dvorak, maybe "The Sampler of the New World".
Berlioz could be another name related to the use of bigs spaces and big orchestras, etc.

Another can be related to Gary: "Garritan Orca: The killer sampler" ;)

The New Garritan Sampler. ;)

[KeithW]

How 'bout "Gigi"- a play on G.G.?
On a more serious note, I also like "Garritan Sound Canvas," but Roland already has that trademarked.

How 'bout "Garritan SoundScape?"

Since Plogue's "Bidule" means "contraption" in French, why not name the Garritan product "scénique" which (according to the translator) means "stagecraft."

Keith Walls

[jmc]

Everything I think of ultimately sounds like another product, or that it belongs in another industry: Dynamic Stage Manager, Orchestral Placement Engine, anything with "conductor" in it made me think of a train. Vivace! Or Presto! I don't know... I'll leave this to someone with a better sense of marketing.

I'm really curious to see how this works, how patches and channels are assigned to the instruments. I just have so many questions!!!

Is there a partial violin graphic for individual articulations, like just a small bow for short bows; or shakey lines around it to indicate tremolo, or are they assigned by the user?

How do you remove instruments? Is there a little pink slip graphic that you drag over to the instrument, which "fires" them from the session?

How do you adjust Var 1 and 2? Are there martini graphics that you just drag and drop on the violins? And the more martinis you drag over the more the Var increases?

I'm sure these will all be answered in good time. I'm just so excited!

[Reegs]

SHAPE

Symphonic Hall Acoustic Positioning Environment
Symphonic Hall Acoustic Positioning Engine

or make it SHAPES to get a "System" in there

[Markleford]

Perhaps a point should be made...

If I'm not mistaken (and somehow I doubt it!), this is an entirely new full-featured sampler with a ton of features, while the stage might not even be seen in every library that's deployed on it. For example, it would kind of not make sense for single virtual instrument libraries, like the Steinway piano which is first to be released on it. Nor will the entire RealSpaces package be included in every release (or so I gather).

So I don't think that "Stage" or "Space" should be featured in the name. ;) Nor "Orchestra" or "Symphony", since at least JABB will be ported over to it. :p

On the other hand, CallMeZoot has a great list of generic musical terms that would make good names. He's the front-runner, I think. :) Only trick is the usual problem of finding something that hasn't been taken yet: there's always a forgotten shareware package on a dead web site that will pop up as soon as you start advertising your new name. ;)

Of course, I've always wanted a product called Syzygy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syzygy)! :D

How about something like Garritan VIPIR? (VIP-IR)

Stagehand or a variation thereof - stagehandy. Like the clapping icon guy here.)(~Or, to fit it in with existing products, Garritan Personal StageHand.
One reason would be that hand that drags and drops onto the stage.

Or how about Posit, or Composite, Compositor (derived from the Latin "to put together"). (Composer may be a bit confusing?) - if anyone has suggested those, please forgive - it is time for bed and going through the posts...

Two more that reflect my taste in puns: On-somble (like ensemble), or
drag-on tunes.

Exactly what I was thinking... except "Sound Stage" is one word and combine both of yours to:

...describes what is, and like you say is exactly what's presented in the product description... quick google shows no obvious product names called "Virtual Soundstage"... so get that trademark ASAP! ~|

Garritan Parallax Soundstage

From Wikipedia:

Parallax, or more accurately motion parallax (Greek: παραλλαγή (parallagé) = alteration) is the change of angular position of two stationary points relative to each other as seen by an observer, due to the motion of an observer. Simply put, it is the apparent shift of an object against a background due to a change in observer position.

Garritan Orchestral Sound Designing Interface

Garritan Graphical Sound Designing Interface

Garritan Virtual Scoring Stage

Garritan D&D Studio

Garritan Pick&Put Studio ( "Pick & Put" is the keyword for this. It sounds more easier then D&D)

Garritan Pick&Put Orchestra (similar to GPO but GPPO. )

Also, this Drag and Drop software maybe also be used for other libraries
like the JABB. So I thought I may called this software, or technology,

Graphical Sound Designing Interface
Drag & Drop Sound Designing Interface
or
Graphical D&D Sound Designing Interface.
or just,
Garritan Pick&Put Studio. (which is in the list above.)

Or you could just change the "interface" word in to "User Interface" or "Sampler" or
"Sampling Engine". And also could change the "Drag & Drop" word in to "Pick & Put".
I just wanted to put in the word "Sound Designing" and also, "Drag&Drop" or "Pick&Put"
because this is what you do when you drag & drop the instruments on to the
virtual scoring stage.
The word "Sound Designing" might have an impression as a difficult thing to do,
but the word "Drag & Drop" or "Pick & Put" gives the impression "ease of use".
So the user gets an image, "able to do something hard a easy way".(sorry if this is confusing )

The keywords are, "Drag & Drop", "Pick & Put", "Sound Designing" and of course "Garritan" :D

Thanks for all the suggestions! :) There are some excellent names, but none that hit the mark yet. Perhaps if we tell you more about the sampler some more names will come to mind.

The new sampler is more than just the 3D-like drag and drop interface. Here are some features:
64 bit sampler that is x64 and Vista capable
Assignable controllers
Skinable: users would be able to redesign and move controls to suit their workflow better
High order filtering

Convolution built-in
Shared data across all instances

Custom features for each library - the engine's core can be supplemented by custom MIDI processors, generators, advanced DSP and effects; custom made for each product in the most efficient mannerEDIT: A few more features:
Centralised Engine : Shared data across all instances, only one Engine to update and not all your libraries once a fix is ready
VST/AudioUnit/RTAS plugin versions
Standalone and ReWire versions
and...NO DONGLE!Please keep those suggestions coming.

hmmm, first I thought about chameleon, as it can transform in skin and features :-) and them the German word Varieté come to my mind - as it is somehow connected to art, performance, changes, etc. English that would be vaudeville - but that is boring :-)
if we go down this line : Moulin Garritan :-) - then we are again down to the G-Spot :-)

Or modifying NTSC (never the same color) to NTSP64 (neve the same player 64 - this is for the 64 bit)

Mhm, Garry brings a new graphical and intuitive virtual Soundstage Samplemachine on the way.
This new system visualizes what the user will hear in real time. Because I think that Garry gives his new samplemachine technology to some of his friends (for use with their sounds to sell...), I didn`t named it by his name.

At last, my suggestion is:VI-64
visualizing Instrument, 64 Bits

A short name that publish this new instrument in two words :-)

Oh, it is unfortunate, with photoshop I have made a nice icon for that, but I can`t post it here, because perhaps I am a new member..? So I brought this as my icon at my profilpicture :-)

Gary, is it full blown sampler (with audio file import, patch creation etc.) or an advanced playback engine?

Do u know what it means, 64 Bit Soundengine.... ? Well, cakewalk' SONAR has a 64-bit (float) mix engine... so I imagine that's what it refers to. Of course, that's separate from the 64-bitness of the executable itself which is required to run "native" on a 64-bit OS...


128 GB of Ram with Microsoft Vista Ultimate..., puhhhh, so, still we ~~~~ the mac? :-)))) Don't get me started... my XP Pro SP1 footprint is 54MB on startup. I'm hearing that vista will require on the order of 10x that just to sit there and stare back at you... I just can't imagine what an OS could possible be doing with all that memory, except for disk cache... Can't wait for the tweakers to get there hands on it to see what the real requirements are for barebones audio work (i.e., sans MS fluffware)...

There are some excellent names, but none that hit the mark yet. A name descriptive of all its features may sell a bunch if shoppers are willing to read it.... It might also win an award for the longest product name in history, albeit in violation of the billboard '9 Word Rule". Truth be known, Mr. G, yours is a highly focused and specialized demographic. An informed 'public,' if you will. So, you could name it "Phooey," "Fritz" or "Yippee Skippy" and word-of-mouth testimonials and written trade rave-reviews would do your selling for you.

Since we've collectively missed 'the mark,' methinks you may have the name and you're awaiting the lucky guesser's posting? Hmm...In the name of greed, ie. winning something, I'll stick to what I know and leave you with:

Prescience
(which is perceiving the significance of events before they occur.... or... 'the ability to predict the future through vision')

En Que
(meaning 'diddly squat')

Major Key
(supporting barf-prose: 'Opening the door to the next realm in musicality'... complemented by a uniformed conductor in some cartoonish likeness of Sousa sporting the insignia of a military major)

Gary, I have an idea that could help you and us at the same time. If you could split those features you posted a while back into two categorically sorted groups, then we could name each group with a short and memorable word. (Trying to typify all of the important aspects in one word is difficult, as is effectively representing all of them in one acronym.)

Just to give this an informal kick start, I'll try my best to divide the features you shared with us in the beginning and middle of this thread into two types of roughly equal size.

Technology:

64 bit sampler that is x64 and Vista capable
Centralised Engine: Shared data across all instances, only one Engine to update and not all your libraries once a fix is ready
Intelligent MIDI programming built-in
VST/AudioUnit/RTAS plugin versions
Standalone and ReWire versionsFunctionality:


Custom features for each library--the engine's core can be supplemented by custom MIDI processors, generators, advanced DSP and effects; custom made for each product in the most efficient manner
Drag and Drop instrument positioning system
Skinable: users would be able to redesign and move controls to suit their workflow better
High order filtering
Convolution built-in
No dongleAlternatively, things could be divided into Engine and Interface.

or just mix those words around. I also changed "64bit" into
alphabets because no one seem to do that.
OR maybe,

Garritan "UFO" Sampling Engine. lol

which means,
Garritan [User, Friendly, Orchestral] Sampling Engine
or
Garritan [User, Friendly, Out-of-the-box] Sampler
or
Garritan [User-friendly, Final-form of, Out-of-the-box] Sampler
or
Garritan [Ultimate, Form of, Out-of-the-box] Sampler

User-friendly, means its easy to use, like drag & drop interface,
centralized engine, and NO DONGLE,
Out-of-the-box, is that it includes convolution reverb and also
custom effects for each library.

Lurking here for quite a long time... finally registered. I thought my first post should give me the maximum oportunity for embarrasing myself, so... I thow my marketing hat into the ring with my take on the name for the Garritan Sampler.

I think there are a number of good reasons why acronyms are generally not used as much for marketing these days. So, with only a little further ado - starting with my personal favorite and continuing on - leaving Garritan with some opportunities of turning the letter "E" into their version of the Native Instrument "K":

Epiphany
...a sudden intuitive leap of understanding, especially through an ordinary but striking occurrence.

Epitome
...a highly representative example of a type, class, or characteristic.

Euphoria
...a feeling of great joy, excitement, or well-being.

Thank you Steve. There is something about "[...]we will suppply you with some free libraries" that has an enchanting and almost irresistably attractive appeal to it.:heart: ;)

hehe, Steinberg might be enthusiastic about that :-)

[cmdratz]

Steff,
There are a whole lot of things named Flex: (http://www.loc.gov/cgi-bin/formprocessor/copyright/locis.pl), and that is just the US office. If Steinberg's Flex is copyrighted (in The Peoples Republic of Germany) it would in all probability have to be a competing sampler for infringement to apply.
