Taking in mind this an Intel executable through Rosetta2 translation, it's just mind blowing how performant the machine is. They all made a difference and in combination led to a zero-pops virtual piano. I had to power the Mac through its charger, rather than using the battery I had to close all other apps on my MacBook Air M1ģ. I used the Aria Player and not the Garritan CFX standalone app, seems this made the biggest differenceĢ. I played Garritan CFX Full for a few hours tonight at buffer size of 64 with my Yamaha N1X (used both as a MIDI controller and a USB audio interface) and I had ZERO cracks/pops.īesides updating to the latest ARIA engine, as I explained earlier, here's what I had to do in order of significance:ġ. I didn't close the Aria player though, I am just playing CFX Lite from within the player. And having many other open apps (and I had my IDE which is a beast, Outlook, Zoom, Slack, Skype, Mail, Viber and 5-6 others open) would also cause some clicks.īut maybe that weird and obscure chain of updates could squeeze the best out of the Intel binary on the M1 CPU? Who knows.I don't want to jinx it.but I followed the same steps and am now playing with a buffer size of 32 with no pops or cracks. Now, this all can be just a huge coincidence. But at buffer size of 128 which is usually the sane option it is click-less! And now I can play almost without clicks at buffer size of 64! Only with too many notes and pressed pedal it would click. I installed it and the screenshot shows it has been installed.Īfter than I closed the Aria Player (also closed all other applications), opened the Garritan CFX standalone app and tested everything again. However when I clicked on the Engine Update button, it showed there is 1.967 and I could open a link that allowed me to download that new version. Look at the two versions at the bottom left. I opened it, loaded Garritan CFX on the left and then on the right clicked on settings:
Now, I don't know whether the Aria Player came with that update or it was there with the main installer but from another thread I learned that now I have this app "Aria Player" on my Mac installed. I retested again but nothing seemed changed, still clicks and pops. Anyways.įirst I noticed that even though I downloaded the latest Garritan CFX Full installer from the website, it was showing "Aria Engine 1.894" and it turned out Garritan themselves offer an aria engine update: https:/ / / Downloads/ Default.aspx?id=666Īfter I installed that update, the engine in the info screen showed 1.959.
Maybe nothing of what I did matters and I was just lucky at the time. I did some voodoo magic on it though, so take it with a grain of salt.
So, I already have Garritan CFX click-free on my Air M1 😱
