Hello, I just updated to Dorico 4.3.3 from Dorico 3.5 and my GPO 5 / Aria Player no longer appears in Dorico and I have not been able to make it work so far. I have a M1 Max MBP + macOS Ventura 13.1.
I tired the following steps:
Installed the latest Apple Silicon Aria Player from here and rebooted.
Added the following to the vst2whitelist.txt in Dorico 4 application content:
ARIA Player VST
565354474152416172696120706C6179
ARIA Player VST Multi
565354474152616172696120706C6179
Followed the instructions in this Steingberg Support page BUT there is no allowed and blocked lists in the VST-plugins settings in Dorico 4 preferences for me!!! (There is in Dorico 3.5!) See the attached photo
Thanks for the data. According to what I see in the logs, Aria does get detected and it shall appear in the dropdown list under the Garritan vendor category. Can you please check again?
GPO5 won’t show in your Playback Template by default, unless you create or download a Playback Template for it. Dorico doesn’t come with knowledge of every conceivable sample library. But if you had one for 3.5, I think it should bring it over.
If you click on VST and MIDI, you should be able to add an instance of ARIA Player.
I have created some expression maps and templates for GPO5 here:
I’d recommend reading through the Version History PDF, to see all the changes that have been made since 3.5.
