I was thinking that might be an alternative that would run more reliably under Sonar. Maybe I should put a #11 value in my stub file.Ĭparmerlee I am a little confused about Kontakt.

I wonder if #11 is getting set to zero on me sometimes. But I was surprised to not find any #11 commands anywhere in the stream. The Finale file is loaded with the #7 volume commands, so I don't think I need any of those. I take the mono-left channel out of each of the Aria tracks, so it is important to pan to the center so all the channels will have the same weight on the left channel, then I can do any needed panning within Sonar downstream of that. I think I had put volume controls there in the past, but nowadays, that file just has a pan command to center (64). I have a little MIDI stub file that I insert in each Aria track before any of the Finale stuff. Sometimes I have to put the cc7 event in again at a later point to bring the base volume back up. Then I use cc#11 to set volume changes on the fly. Michael diemer Do you put in a starting volume level? I use Aria, and I have to add a controller event #7, which I set to 80 or higher, at the very beginning. I guess I will try running individual Aria instances to see if that works any better, but that seems really messy when dealing with a large ensemble. I am guessing that would run very reliably under Sonar. So it looks like one option would be to buy Kontakt 5 for $249 and run the Garritan libraries under that.
Aria player for finale install#
You won't be able to install and activate this version unless you own one of the required products listed above!"īut the Garritan JABB library is on that list of qualifying crossgrade products. But then there is a crossgrade price for the purchased Kontakt 5 edition for $249 See It says "Only for registered users of qualifying 3rd party products that run in KONTAKT PLAYER.
Aria player for finale free#
See The free Kontakt 5 player seems to play only libraries that are purchased from NI whereas the purchased Kintakt 5 edition plays "unlicensed libraries". Are there any options other than Aria for using these sounds in Sonar? Anybody have experience with First Call Horns? That is $199 and the samples sound good. I know the earlier Garritan packages used Kontact. I know there are some amazing horn libraries out there, but I don't want to spend $2000 when the Garritan sounds are good enough for my projects. I finally just gave in and boosted the gain through a compressor. I have been through every possible parameter I can think of and couldn't resolve that. It does other goofy things like making certain instruments 1/10th the sound level of the others.

And now when I try to reload my template of sounds, I might have to do that three times before the right instruments are actually loaded into Aria. More frequent cases where the Aria tracks go silent.

Aria player for finale update#
Today I updated to the latest Aria engine (as it doesn't appear there has been an update to the Aria "Player" itself for several years). In the past, I was usually able to rectify this by reloading all the instruments into Aria. I can be working along editing MIDI and suddenly the Aria tracks stop sounding while all the other synths in the project keep working. I can't pick up any pattern that triggers this problem. It works, but keeps going silent on all 16 tracks.

But when I try to use Aria under Sonar, it ain't so great. The sounds are good enough for what I'm doing, and the Aria player seems to be stable under Finale. I have the Garritan Jazz & Big Band 3 library. Is there an alternative to Aria for the Garritan libraries?
