Does anyone use the GPO with Sonar X2 Producer? If yes how does it go?

Garritan uses the Aria player and it works fine in Sonar as do VSTi's in general.

Agreed.  I have several Garritan items and they all work great.

absolutely fine.  cake had a gpo promotion a bit over a year ago so got a copy for 80 bucks or so and it works well.

Works great for me here with X1.

I use GPO4 and JABB3 on a regular basis and it works perfectly. Garritan gets hammered a lot for not having the fine quality of packages that are vastly more expensive but I think they make a fine product for the musician looking for affordablity and ease of operation. BTW, I'm running X2a.

Ditto.
GPO4 runs fine in X2a over here as well.

Same here - just installed GPO 4 the other day, and it opened & ran just fine in Sonar Producer X2a - x64.

I don't know whether you own it and have problems or are just trying to decide to buy it...
I'm glad others get it to work but I have problems that make it unusable.
When I defined a preset, based on Lush strings, by typing in the preset field and hitting the "floppy" symbol, the preset was listed OK in the dropdown.
However, when I went to load the preset via the VST dropdown, it is not saved in the relevant folder, where I would expect to find it.
Also, when I play a step sequence through Aria Player, my defined preset is somehow automatically replaced by a new one called "empty slot0", which now appears in the dropdown list of presets: if I delete it, it returns at a further stage.
Also, this "empty slot0" preset drops the volume, removes the legato and adds more aggressive sound to the strings.
When I re-select my defined preset from the dropdown, the "empty slot0" preset remains or (if I deleted it) is again displayed in the field but the properties of my preset definition are audible for the sequence... until I rewind and play the sequence again, at which point all the string properties revert to the low-volume, aggressive "empty slot0" settings - all in all, a complete disaster. This is all with the latest software.
I have registered this with MakeMusic - or is it Garritan - or is it ARIA - and they sent me the latest interface but my problem reamins.
