Traditional instruments patches
Is there somewhere to download more traditional instruments. The GarageBand library seems to have shrunk.

Hello divajazz,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities, it's great to have you here.
The GarageBand library is pretty expansive and offers a lot of various instruments, samples and loops that you can experiment with in the app. We're not sure if you have installed everything that is available, so we'd like to share the following resource which offers guidance on how you can access everything that GarageBand has to offer: Get more sounds and loops for GarageBand on Mac - Apple Support
We hope this information is helpful!
Have a great day.

You can see if the Jam Packs are still available.
If Mainstage is still around, it comes with all the JamPacks.
And, yes, GB has a lot fewer sounds than it used to.
I'm looking for sounds that I think used to be in GB but no more. For instance the present version has string ensemble sounds but not individual instruments such as cello. Brass has trumpet sections but no solo trumpets. It does have a solo French horn. I think I have downloaded all the legacy patches. Maybe I am missing something. Also GB for iPad has even less.
