Ensemble presets
The Garritan Personal Orchestra 5 installation includes a collection of useful, pre-configured ensembles for your convenience. Each ensemble preset loads a selection of instruments along with pan, level, and other settings. The ensemble presets are located in the Presets folder in the Garritan installation directory. For more information on ensemble presets, refer to the ARIA Player User Manual.
Tip: In the ARIA Player standalone, you can create customized ensemble files. Just load the stops you want and adjust their settings to your liking. Choose File > Save As to save the preset.
