Using Symphonic Instrument with Sibelius 7.1.3

[Cavies79]

Could anybody tell me if I should be able to use Symphonic Instrument with Sibelius 7.1.3. Also, how do get this to work? I've contacted Avid and MOTU. So far, nobody seems to be able to help me.

Thanks,

Dennis

Hi Cavies79

Using external libraries in Sibelius can be a frustrating and difficult process. Sib relies on 'sound sets' which are documents that describe each of the sounds of your VI in terms Sibelius understands. You can create these yourself but they are a little convoluted and difficult. There are 3rd party providers of sound sets (http://www.soundsetproject.com) although I don't know if there is one for Symphonic Instrument.

For info read up on Sound Sets and Soundworld in the Sibelius manual.

I think I am just going to stop trying to use this software. I don't believe it will work with Sibelius. I am going to purchase another one that works with Sibelius.Sound set project does not have this available.

I am very disappointed.

Yeah trying to get the libraries you want to playback in Sibelius can be very difficult. If you have Kontakt there's a sound set for its orchestral sounds to playback. Also check out Note Performer

http://www.noteperformer.com

it gives quite good playback in many instances.
