Ah thanks Andi - changenotes always helpful!

I don't suppose there's a plan to ever create a soundset to utilise the full versions of SYzd solo strings? - having access to harmonic gliss would be very useful! (Also for goodness sake record full section harmonic glisses!)

Hi Andi,

I was wondering if there are update notes for the soundsets as they come out (I see there was a new one today!)- it would be really good to know what is being added/fixed!

Could you clarify which instruments should be used in Sibelius for Trombones a 9, Cimbasso and 'Low Brass'?

Thanks!

Hi Andi

Ok - how do I persuade sibelius to send to send to those 2nd 'players' - as it just tries to play chords on the 1'st player's part. This also happens with dimension strings II sord for the 2nd violins by the way.

It'd be absolutely lovely to add Flute 2 and Oboe 2, Trumpet 2 and Horn 2 into the soundsets for sibelius (like clarinet and bassoon 1 and 2) to allow for easy rendering of seperate articulations with single players  - e.g. Stravinsky symphony of psalms where there are long passages of woodwind staccato against slurs from the 2nd (or 4th) players.

If this is possible with channel assignment, without changes necessary, could you post instructions?

I'd send even more love if you'd clone tenor trombone so that we could have a cheat trombone 2 with the same option also (and let's get muted brass nad pro strings out soon too!!)

Hello everyone,

I'm wondering if anyone would be willing to walk me through the process by which one might sensibly go from a completed score in Sibelius Ultimate to a mock up in Protools 2021.6.0.

I have a large orchestral piece (~25mins), (picc.3.altfl.2.cor.3.Eb.BassCl.2.CFg. 4.4.4.1 timp 7perc cel harp str, including mutes on strings and brass) that I would like to create a better mock up for than that which you can get just exporting audio from Sibelius (playback with VE Pro Sever has been lovely.) My server project has 67 channels in it, and I want to work efficiently, to ensure things like articulation changes are exported properly.

I have 0 experience with ProTools - I'm normally a notation based composer, but things have changed professionally and there seems to be a demand for high quality mock ups. I appreciate this might be more than a single forum post can answer, so I was wondering if any of the more experienced midi-wizards would be up for tutoring me through using all this wonderful gadgetery I have access to!

I've read the ProTools Guide, which I explained how to connect things up between VE Pro Sever and ProTools - I can manage that with small scores, but I seem to run out of outputs pretty quickly... Am I missing some clever way of exploting the unlimited number of channels in Pro Server?

I don't really want to have to manually play in everything - some of the patterning is quite unusual, and presumably with lots of articulation changes comes lots of buggering around in ProTools if they aren't already saved somewhere by the soundset from Sibelius??)

(Libraries I have: Synchron Strings 1, Synchron strings pro, Synchron Elite Strings, Sychron FX Strings I, Synchron Power Drums, SYzd Appassionata Strings, SYzd Chamber Strings, SYzd Chamber Strings Sordino, SYzd Solo Strings, SYzd Dimension Strings, SYzd Woodwinds, SYzd Dimension BRass, SYzd Elements, SYzd Plucked Instruments, SYzd Special Keyboards, SYzd SPecial Edition Plus Vols-  1-7).

Lastly, I'm not necessarily wedded to ProTools as a DAW, if MusicXML exporting (or some other feature) would make this better, happy to move to a recommended platform, so long as it runs on Windows.

Thanks
