I have faithfully followed the video tutorial on setting up and using VSTs, but am having no luck.
For example, I am trying to set up the "Bass" instrument to run through the Aria Player. I open the "VST/DX Synths/Plugins (synth in first slot" dialog box and select th drop-down for Plugin.
When I scroll to the bottom of the list and select "Add VST Plugin", then navigate to and select "ARIA Player VST_x86.dll", nothing happens. The Aria UI does not appear, and it is not added to the list of available plugins.
However, the "Piano" instrument already shows the Aria Player (and "Coyote"), but none of the other plugins that show up on the "Bass" are present. Maybe they aren't germane to the other instruments?
Anyway, Piano, Melody, Soloist, Thru, and Default Synth all show the Aria Player and Coyote.
Aria player works fine with BIAB. I use it with Garritan Jazz and Big Band. The image below shows how I load the player into the Bass slot of BIAB.
If I understand your post correctly, the Aria player is listed when you click on other instrument slots (those underneath the "Bass" in the above image) but not on the "Bass" track as I show in my image. Is this correct?
I suspect that your problem arises because you have a Realtrack loaded on your Bass track. Try loading an all-midi style (that won't have Realtracks on the Bass) and the Aria player should show up.
The reason for this is because when a Realtack is present on a track, BIAB no longer sees that track as a midi track because the RT is audio. Using the Aria player requires BIAB to see the track as midi since it is a midi soft synth.
Is there some way to save the Aria configuration (aside from as an Aria ensemble)? And is it really using multiple Aria instances, one for each instrument? If there was a way that they could all use single instance, the using the Aria ensembles would make sense.
Placing a single instance of the Aria player in the "Default Synth" slot would allow all tracks to access it. To do this, it's necessary to assign a midi channel and instrument (inside Aria) for each BIAB track so that Aria player can read BIAB's information.
The image below shows the midi channels that BIAB (2015) uses for its tracks (i.e. Bass = 2, Piano = 3, etc.).
I haven't tried this but it seems that once the set-up you create has been saved as an Ensemble in Aria player, it should then simply be a matter of loading it in (with Aria in the "Default Synth" slot) every time you need it. It's worth playing around with.
Thanks, Noel. I'll play around with the Default Synth now and figure this out.
Saving ensembles in Aria is easy and works like a charm. I've used it for years with other software, like Finale and Anvil Studio. And using only 1 Aria instance sure seems more efficient.
Thanks guys my JABB3 is finally working with BB, thanks to you. However on tracks where I have arranged e.g. a 4 or 5-trumpet section, only the top note gets played, so it definitely does not sound like a Big Band.
Is there any way to work around this?
Is it possible to use JABB3 only for selected tracks and let the remaining MIDI-tracks be played via my Roland sound module?
