Loading Ensemble Preset Files
In standalone mode there are two ways to load Ensemble preset les:
• Load from the File menu (File/Load)
• Drag and Drop
When ARIA is used as a plug-in from within a host program, the Drag and Drop method must be
used to load ensemble les. is can be done as follows: With the ARIA player interface displayed,
open the “Ensembles” folder/directory to display the numbered collection of ensemble les. Using
the mouse button, click and hold on the le you wish to load. Drag it to the ARIA interface and
release the mouse button. e instruments and their congurations will load automatically.
Note that in Standalone mode you can create customized ensemble les. Just load the instruments
you want, adjust their settings to your liking, and use the Save As command from the File menu to
save the .aria preset.
Note:
ere are special groups of scala les made for use in combination with the Ensemble les. After load-
ing your ensemble, click on the ARIA SETTINGS page to import these special scala les. e scala
les made for use within the ensemble les start with the ensemble le name. Try using these scala les
as a starting point to explore the possibilities of exotic and unique scales that are authentic to these
groups of instruments.
