Controlling values in a sfz file from the "outside"?

[rockdude]

So you're planning to put it in there in the future? It would be good for drums (the only thing I'm currently interested in mapping right now)

xfin/xfout on cc will be added in next build of ARIA.

Great news!
If I understand things correctly you can code new Aria specific opcodes at will. Would it be possible to ask/request/wish for new opcodes that possibly could be coded and implemented in the future? I have a few suggestion that I could share later on, when I have a better understanding of what I can do with the current opcodes.

When will we see the possibility to add UI controls in Aria for sfz mapped instruments...without being a third party developer? (I would guess you're not that interested in showing me how to hack the registry )
I've searched for Vst-based midi cc control panels with assignable knobs that would let me control many cc's and send the data to any chosen vst receiver(Aria etc)...but I can't find any good. CCRider is ok for testing one at a time, but not very fluid. I could try building one myself in SynthEdit or SynthMaker, but I've never used them so it would be time consuming.

I try to add opcodes that fill void in the current spec and which makes sense with the rest of the design, always. If i can i try to get a hold of Rene for approval,
which sadly could not do for all ARIA specific opcode. The idea would be to push my additions into a 3.0 spec or something. So i try to stay concise.

We don't really know when/how/if at this point, The third party ARIA ball is taking shape so we will disclose things as we go.

I like the idea of pushing things into a 3.0 sfz spec. Development is important and sfz is so good it would be really sad if it turned out to be a dead project. Heads up to you David for keeping sfz alive and up to date! If I could help in any way I would be glad to do so.
