Last note: Garritan Personal Orchestra 5 is MIND BLOWING! Garrison was bought by MakeMusic, the creator of Finale, the leader in Notational Software (which lacks an iPad version, reason I went with Notion).

GARRITAN PERSONAL ORCHESTRA 5 WILL NOT UNZIP UPDATE

When will there be a MAJOR update to Notion to solve these existing issues and to provide a greater and more robust framework? There is a great foundational framework for Notion, yet there needs to be some heavy work done to quash some major issues. The huge ADVANTAGE I see with Notion is that it has great iPad support, although there are HUGE BUGS that need to be fixed, such as system crashes when you attempt to do TIES and SLURS in vermin instances. Notion 6 needs EXTENSIVE MIDI configuration support added to its platform so that it is ROBUST. If someone can guide me to a better solution, I am all ears. The way I see it now, is that I have to jump in and out and adjust a mix individually using MIXER channel one 16 different times. ARIA has its own MIXER and EFFECTS modules and with having ONLY ONE instance of ARIA supporting up to 16 STAVES/MIDI Channels, you can control and entire setup via the MIXER. This is a HUGE and CUMBERSOME experience. This allows you to use the ARIA MIXER and EFFECTS panel from one instance of ARIA.ДЄs best as I can tell right now, EACH STAVE requires a separate ARIA configuration as each individual STAVE is handled independent and so only the FIRST SLOT in ARIA is used. If you have 16 STAVES you can select 1 of the 16 SLOTS in ARIA which represents a particular instrument. The following is what would be IDEAL to be able to set up an ENSEMBLE, save it, then when creating a new score, create STAVES based upon the ARIA GPO Engine, with independent STAVES being able to say which MIDI CHANNEL to operate on. Just select the appropriate Clef and click on the Stave and it will change all the notes accordingly. If you change an Existing Score over to GPO, when you come out of SCORE SETUP, your Clefs will switch to the Treble Clef and if you were in any other Clef, all your notes will be adjusted. Took hours of fumbling around, so hopefully this will help others to shorten their efforts to get up and running. It was a hit and miss and not a pleasant experience. There is no 'GOOD' or even 'LOUSY' documentation that tells you this. You only find this out through experimenting. If you create a Score from the GROUND UP, when you selected the GPO ARIA Engine, the ARIA interface opens up automatically and it kind of intuitively walks you through the need to assign an Instrument to the first of the 16 slots.Д«ut if you have an existing SCORE and go into SCORE SETUP to change an instrument over to the GPO VST, there is NOTHING that tells you to OPEN up the ARIA ENGINE via the TOOLS>OPEN PLUG IN MANAGER menu item and set up an instrument. Garrison has 16 slots to assign an Instrument to. This is not the same screen for enabling a VST, this is for actually assigning Instruments to the Music Engine, in this case ARIA that powers the Garritan Personal Orchestra. I kept plugging around and after exhausting everything I read I stumbled on to the last menu item under the TOOLS menu, 'Open Plug In Manager'.

I did do a complete re install with the same exact outcome, no sound coming from any Stave with Aria assigned. Here is what I did regarding the question I submitted above:

The rest of this answer does have followup questions and recommendations for the Notion product. I wish I would have read it more thoroughly before I hunted and pecked to find it on my own.

The following was discovered before I read what is Item 4 in Brian Meisner answer.
