GPO5 woodwinds don’t have a staccato articulation. I’ve fooled around with notes of short duration, velocity, and the “length” control but nothing sounds like a true staccato, which is tongued.. Any ideas?
I'm afraid your options are very limited. Apart from two Flutes, there are no keyswitches for alternate playing techniques in the entire Woodwind section.
There just aren't the samples. If you're very experienced with editing sfz files, it might be possible to fake it using the existing sound somehow, but unlikely and difficult.
Also, I've just come across the "Virtual Playing Orchestra", which is a free library that works in ARIA. It's not bad for the money, and the samples work well as complements to GPO -e.g. layering both together. It has staccato Wind samples, so that's something.
It uses different key switches from GPO, but the sfz instrument definitions can be edited.
