What it does
Garritan Abbey Road Studios CFX Lite can be loaded into an instrument slot in the ARIA Player. Circumstances where you'd want to load CFX Lite into the ARIA Player may include:
- When you're using Finale with the ARIA Player loaded into the first AU/VST bank, and want to control all instruments and channel settings from one instance of the ARIA Player.
- When you want to use the ARIA Player's included algorithmic reverb Ambience instead of the convolution reverb included in CFX Lite.
- When you're already using other Garritan libraries in the ARIA Player, and you want to use the ARIA Player's mixer to balance instrument volumes.

- Open the ARIA Player plug-in or standalone player.
- Click empty on the instrument slot you want to load CFX Lite. An instrument menu appears.
- Select CFX Lite, the version of the piano, and then choose a preset.
