It all began with founder Gary Garritan's deep passion for the harp. Inspired by Harpo Marx's enchanting performance, Gary embarked on a mission to develop electronic MIDI harps that led him to the world of sampling. The groundbreaking GigaHarp library set the standard for quality, expression, and performance, not only for harps but for all other sample libraries.

Since then, Garritan has introduced numerous award-winning virtual instrument libraries, such as the Garritan Personal Orchestra, Jazz & Big Band, World Instruments, Classic Pipe Organs, Concert & Marching Band, and the revolutionary Instant Orchestra. These exceptional sound libraries are widely used in television, film, game audio, and on the world's greatest concert stages.
