Build your ensemble
From duos all the way to a full big band, the ensemble creator allows you to select exactly what instruments you want in your piece. With this, you can create your own sound and place your identity in the music wherever you use it. If you want to use a standard ensemble set up then there are pre-configured ensembles included for you to quickly use common combinations.
ARIA Player integration
Each Garritan library has its own unique integration with the ARIA Player. Garritan Jazz & Big Band 3 allows you to alter parameters unique to the instruments, like the valve, breath and air noise. Microphone placement can be altered within the stereo space to suit your production. ARIA also supports Scala files so you can alter the tuning system of the virtual instruments. You can play in historic temperaments or use non-Western tuning systems for your music.
There is an inbuilt reverb in ARIA which allows you to add space to your sounds. Mixing sends for each instrument allows you to control the amount of reverb individually. The convolution reverb allows you to place your sounds in various sampled spaces such as a cathedral, a film score space or a variety of concert halls.
