Yep...  And as I am learning (since I just bought GPO yesterday), the
kontakt mini-player included with GPO plays back EVERYTHING that kontakt is
capable of.  So you can use this player or you can use kontakt if you
already own kontakt..your choice.  The samples will work the same through
either with all the filtering and performance related stuff.  If you own
kontakt you have the ability to do some tweaking or perhaps see how they set
things up.  GPO will NOT work properly with Kompakt as Kompakt does not
fully support all the stuff built into the GPO library.

The mini kontakt player that comes with GPO does not yet support DFD.  If
you want DFD you have to get kontakt.  There is a kontakt upgrade available.
But Gary Garritan and his techs keep saying over and over that they have had
nothing but problems with DFD so they don't even wanna go there right now.
They don't recommend or support using it (at least for now).  That being
said, you can load a whole GPO orchestra into 1GB of RAM or less.

You should hear some of the demos people are doing with this library.  Its
definitely a very capable orchestration tool...and the price is mind
numbingly low..
