I understand how to put the instruments into the Aria player but what I can't understand is how to put an orchestra in with only 16 places.
I just purchased the Instant Orchestra but with only 16 slots it falls short of an orchestra. If I can only have 16, I see this as a waste of money and time.
What am I doing wrong?

use multiple Aria players.
each one gives you 16 slots, but one player isn't the limit.

OK, I never thought of that or even heard of it. Is it in the manual?

I don't know.

But seeing as there were multiple slots for Aria (or other) players...
I suspect I've been at this for so long now that things that seem obvious to me may not be to others.
