Aria Aax Download
ARIA is Garritan's 64-bit Sampler/Synthesis Engine, developed in collaboration with Plogue Art et Technologie Inc.
ARIA's unique and powerful features:
- Efficiency and Reliability: The core engine is lightweight, stable and efficient, with a focus on simplicity and playability.
- Open Format: ARIA's default instrument file format is SFZ, a very powerful and public file format that is rapidly becoming the new open standard. The SFZ format is also the format used in Cakewalk products. The ARIA engine will also work with soundfont files and more file formats are expected to be supported soon.
- Modular Architecture: Its flexible plug-in based architecture allows incredible customization and future-proofing; using a custom SDK, highly efficient ARIA modules can be compiled into native machine code to do tasks such as: complex MIDI/input processing voice generation (e.g: sample player, sample modeling, additive/subtractive synthesis, physical modeling, etc), voice and master effects, and more.
- Customizable: Each product based on ARIA can have a fully unique user interface tailored to the needs of that product based on a simple XML layout that allows multiple panes, transparent images and animations.
- Custom Processing: Real-time morphing capabilities, high-order filters, convolution (for instrument body resonances and acoustic spaces), MIDI processing (for legato, anti-repetition, etc.), and custom DSP.
- Supports Multiple Platforms: ARIA-based products are currently available for these platforms: Mac OS X 10.4 and higher (PPC32, PPC64, Intel32 and Intel64) and Windows XP and Vista (both 32 and 64-bits). A native Linux version is also in the works. Works as standalone, plug-in (VST 2.4 -VST 3.0 - AudioUnits -RTAS), and supported notation programs.
- Downloadable Instruments Integration: Users will be able to access the Garritan online store, demo individual instruments, and have the opportunity to purchase sounds.
- Graceful Copy Protection: Users receive a Personalized Graphic Card Key to authorize. Simply drag and drop the personalized graphic card onto the ARIA player and it is authorized. You are allowed to use your products on multiple computers, without dongles or challenge response.
chipsounds authentically emulates several vintage 8-bit-era sound chips (plus variants), down to their smallest idiosyncrasies. It also faithfully allows you to dynamically reproduce the accidentally discovered sounds effect tricks and abusive musical techniques that were made famous by innovative chiptune composers and classic video game sound designers, which for the good part of the last 2 decades, have pushed beyond the boundaries of the original chip designs.
chipsounds is powered in part by Plogue's powerful ARIA 64-bit sampler/synthesis engine that also powers Garritan's complete new product line (and is also featured in many third party applications). chipsounds reproduces the exact form spectra of the most sought-after classic sound chips, including their most well-known variations, as sonically accurate as possible without adding any non-authentic aliasing or DSP artifacts.
Expand your sonic possibilities with AAX plug-ins. AAX is a powerful plug-in format that works with Pro Tools, Media Composer, and the latest VENUE systems. From virtual instruments, to emulations of your favorite effects and sound processors, you'll find a huge variety of plug-ins available from Avid, AIR, Sonnox, NUGEN Audio and other top developers in the Avid Store. Sforzando is a free SFZ player. Simple but powerful for advanced users. Sforzando is a free, highly SFZ 2.0 compliant sample player. Advanced sample hobbyists now have a powerful tool to experiment and share instruments without relying on proprietary formats. Sforzando has only one instrument slot; no fancy UI, effects or mixers. ATTENTION: Users of Garritan ARIA PLAYER - ARIA PLAYER users should first look at updating their full ARIA PLAYER before running any ARIA ENGINE update. An ARIA Player package also contains the ARIA Engine. Since version 1.111, the ARIA Player version always match the version of the ARIA Engine packaged with it.
Research and analysis for this project has been made in house on Plogue's large collection of cartridges, modified consoles and classic computers owned by the team and also on the chips themselves using custom made circuit boards and low level 8 bit software code.
Chips analyzed and included:
TIA (used in the Atari 2600 & 7800):
- Accurate Multipulse/Polynomial bit pattern waveforms for those unique combat, engine drones and powerful mix piercing 'fake-saw' sound (used 2600 and 7800 consoles).

2A03 (and its GB variant) (used in the NES and GB):
- Accurate pulse width settings (1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 3/4).
- Drawable 4bit/32 step band-limited Waveform.
- Huge number custom and classic waveforms to choose from, including the unique triangle sound of the NES.
- Short (93/128bit) and Long (32767bit) noise patterns accurately modeled.

AY-3-8910 (and its numerous clones 8912/8913/8914/2149F) (used in Intv, ZX, ST, Arcades):
- Emulation of Sync Buzzer Envelope Looping tricks.
- Accurate logarithmic 4Bit DAC.
POKEY (Used in 400/800 series computer and Arcades): Converting garageband to mp3 on ipad.
- Fat and accurate Multipulse/Polynomial bit pattern waveforms with clock desynchronization.
SN76489AN (and its SN76496 SN94624N predecessor) (Used in the ColecoVision, SMS, BBC, TI, PCjr, Tandy and Arcades, that leaves very few):
- Basic and RAW, the purest chip there is.
- Different NOISE patterns for all variants, all emulated.
SID (including 6580 and 8580) (Used in the C64):
- The most important sound chip of the '80s gaming era.
- Variable Pulsewidth, SAW, Triangle, 8bit noise and even combined waveforms.
- Most waveforms are actually SAMPLES of the real thing for 100% accuracy, especially for the combined waveforms.
VIC-I (Used in the VIC20):
- This chip is very underestimated gem with totally unique sounding waveforms.
- Newly discovered 'Robotic' waveforms are emulated.
- Rough, nasty noise pattern too.
