Making sense of the Controls in ARIA PLayer
Posted: Wed Aug 04, 2021 4:26 pm
Regarding what the controls do in ARIA Player, I found nothing useful at Garritan's site and their manual appears to be merely an advertisement for the product. MakeMusic is unable to help as I am unable to provide what "library" I am using, except that the instrument which I am using is Garritan's Fife that came with v26.3 (see the pic below). So far I have construed the following, guessing what the filters do (cut-off?). If anybody is familiar with the controls, maybe they could correct my understanding in the list below. On my system, the Modulation Wheel also acts as a volume control; the Air Noise control adds treble.
Porta (CC20): Portamento regulates amount of glide between note intervals?
Length(CC21): Length?
Var.1 (CC22): Variation (adds human feel of imperfection?)
Var.2 (CC23): Variation?
Filtr.v(CC26): Increase for more air noise; lower to take off edge & smoothen.
Filtr.q(CC27): Lower to smoothen.
VibSpd (CC17): Vibrato Speed.
ModWhl (CC1): Modulation. Lower to reduce presence (volume).
AirNs (CC12): Air Noise (increase to add edge).
Fluttr (CC18): Flutter (distortion when set high).
VibAmt (Aftr): Vibrato amount.
