ARIA iOS tech demo

Small in house demo of the Plogue ARIA Engine (v1.144) running on an iPad1 with a few test sounds, including the original Garritan Steinway from GPO4 without any mods.
The app also supports Core MIDI through the Camera connection kit and the AKAI Connect SDK as well. The UI is really just a placeholder, the core of the demo code being the statically linked aria library (c++), and the low latency CoreAudio/CoreMidi integration. You can drop any SFZ file into the Document interface in iTunes and its going to appear in ARIA on next boot. Essentially this is the first full blown SFZ 2.0 player on iOS.

time and time I come to here to see if ARIA iOS had release....

I echo Nick's sentiments. Would love to know if or when the sforzando player will be available on the App Store!

This is very cool. Is this project going anywhere? I've searched for years for a SFZ player on iOS. Alchemy supports SFZ, Caustic supports SFZ, but both have some pretty big limitations that are complete showstoppers for me (very limited polyphony).

We hope to have our sforzando player (Which shares our SFZ engine) on iOS sometime in 2015.

David Viens That's great to hear. I use an iPad Mini2 as my live synth engine, and an efficient multitimbral SFZ player with good MIDI support and decent polyphony (at least 32 notes) would be incredible. If you need beta testers, count me in.

Nick Shaver Its one of our 2015 todos, will keep you posted

+David Viens Hey David! Any progress on your sforzando for iOS? Is it still in the works?

[@plgDavid]

+Nick Shaver backburner, as we are working on chipsounds 2.0. Sorry about that.
