This appears as Aria Player in the Garritan list under Software Instrument. I was having the same problem and think I’ve now found the answer.īasically, I think you need to use the AU plugin on the Mac rather than the VST. If I do this manually then t seems to work. If I use the Inspector window and hit 'i' to open the Aria player window no instrument has been assigned to any track. When I use the Instrument library to assign a track to a Garritan GPO5 instrument, it appears in the track window but it does not sound when the keyboard is struck (with play through enabled) or when notes are played back.Ĩ. I even tried deleting the other paths, but they always come back as does Aria 1.06. If I close the Plugin Manager and return to it the new paths to Apps/Garritan disappear and the old ones reappear.Ħ. It loads Aria 1.06 again, not the new one.ĥ. I add new paths to the Apps folder in VST 2 and VST tabs pointing to the Apps/Garritan folder in which the Aria Player app resides. Or is there a difference between the Aria Player app and the Aria Plugin?.Ĥ. I removed it from the list in hopes of loading 1.872. An older version of Aria (1.06) is always listed. I opened Ov5 and went to the Plugin Manager window. It seems to have placed it in the Apps folder.ģ. I downloaded and installed the latest Aria Player 1.872 from the Garritan site. I made sure that the latest version of Ov5 is installed by downloading and installing the latest update.Ģ. For each track, go to the Inspector Panel on the right, click on the 'i' button to open an instance of the Aria Player, set the first channel to an instrument, and close it.ġ) Is this correct? Why do you have to set up each track twice, once seemingly in the score but without making any instrument assignment, and a second time in the Inspector Panel/ Aria player? Is there really no way for the Overture Library settings to set up the Aria Player directly in one step? Am I doing it wrong? Is there a preference box I need to check?Ģ) Is that why old Overture 4 files do not play until you go in and re-set every track and every instrument?ĭon, I'm afraid I still can't get this to work.ġ. The instruments appear, and they seem to be assigned to Aria player, and a midi channel has been assigned, but notes do not yet play.Ģ. Go to the Instrument Library on the left of the screen and drag instruments onto the Track Window. As far as I can tell it is a two step process as follows:ġ. I'm still very puzzled by the procedure to set up Aria player tracks in Overture 5.5.1-6 Mac.
