I don't come here often, but here's my two cents: I have GPO 5, EWSO Gold, Vienna Sp. Ed. 1, plus I use the Dimension Pro synth, which I have from Sonar (although I'm actually using Reaper now). Like many, I struggle to get decent trumpet sound. Now, those of you who know about Dim Pro know that it ...

I just use the simple Aria player, and put my instruments on channels 1-16. You can fill up the player or insert another, as many as needed. I don't bother with multiple outputs. Works fine.

Well, the problem is solved. A bloke named Kasta gave me a way to fiddle with note-off velocity or something, and it worked! You can see the thread yourself, and his fix: http://forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?p=1692432&posted=1#post1692432 Thanks to for your help John. I believe you did say som...

Thought I'd let you know John that the fix the Reaper folks gave me did not work. I'm going to purchase sonar Artist in the meantime, so I can finish the project I'm working on, a large orchestral piece. It's too hard learning a new DAW and trying to finish a piece I already started in Sonar. Then I...

Yikes! I hope I'm not starting a flame war here. All this is miles above my head. I have yet to implement Schwa's fix. My first attempt didn't work. When I do, I'll let you know what the results are. All in all, I'm very impressed with Reaper. Sonar was great, but they don't have a commitment to imp...

John, I may be getting somewhere. Schwa, a Reaper developer, asked me to attach a midi file of one of my sonar files for export. After looking at it, he had this to say: "Sure enough, this file has note-off represented as note-on with velocity zero. Code: +7920 7920: 90 54 7F +240 8160: 90 54 0...

Interesting observations, John. I do a lot of note length adjustment at times, in order to emphasize articulation. Perhaps with some Aria instruments I need to shorten them even more? Although, the sticking is only happening on the last note, which would seem to argue against that. The latest: The S...

An update: I updated Reaper today, and things are better. Among the woodwinds, only the clarinet is sticking. I have yet to test the brass. An observation: It almost seems that there is something about the clarinet patch that lends itself to this behavior. It has a lot of natural reverb, and the not...

As it happens, notation was the reason I bought Reaper. So no going back. Will have to solve the problem or not use Aria. I have submitted a bug report to the Reaper folks.

Some more info: installing original GPO works, but sounds terrible, even on the Kontakt 5 player. I also tried the 32 bit version of Aria, as well as going back to the last version, and the problem still occurs. I'm wondering about an even older Aria version. But then, would I still be able access G...
