Using Garritan IO4 and COMB2 with Presonus Studio One Professional on a Windows 10 computer.
I rely on Garritan, both COMB2 and PO4, for a number of instruments and am pleased with the quality of the samples, however the volume of sounds is markedly lower than other sample libraries that I regularly use. I have tried searching for a solution and, in the knowledge base, I found what seemed to be the solution to my problem however I am unable to implement it. I have confirmed that I am using the most current version of the Aria Player and Engine. According to the article I can alter the volume by the following steps:
Open the Aria Player.
Select the Instant Orchestra patch that is too quiet.
Click Controls.
Turn on the Expression Switch.
I have tried to follow these steps however, both in freestanding and VST instances of the Aria player when I select the patch and click Controls, there is no setting for Expression Switch. The only controls are for ON/OFF for the Equalizer, ON/OFF for Auto-Legato, and ON/OFF for Stereo Stage and the Instrument Controls (Porta, Length, Var 1 & 2, etc.) I have the slider in the Mixer window all the way up as well. I have seen other references on other forums to raising the master volume in the mixer however I do not see a slider or setting for Master Voume, only the 16 sliders that correspond to the various patches/channels.
At present the only workaround I have, which is time-consuming and frustrating, is to lower the volumes in my DAW for all non-Garritan instruments.
Any advise or insight would be most appreciated.
(Results after running the above logic: Notice that each note now has a CC1 event on the same time stamp, and its value is the same as the the MIDI Note.)
