Hello Moh!

If you want to use SYNCHRON-ized Special Edition and Epic Orchestra 2.0 in one project, you will need two Playback Devices with different sound sets. To play these instruments, you will need two Sibelius instruments too. It might work with an instrument change from "Violin 1 (Ensemble) [VSL Special Edition]" to "Strings" and vice versa too.

If you want to play the Horn ensemble preset, add a horn staff to your project and add the Technique Text command "a4" at the beginning of the staff.

To use different drums in one Playback Configuration, add a dedicated staff for every drum and reserve a channel for a every drum on the Sibelius Manual Sound Sets page and in Vienna Ensemble.

Andi

Hello moh!

Sound IDs for non pitched percussion instruments don't get displayed on the Sibelius Manual Sound Sets page. The Taiko is included in the program "Synchron Drums" of the "VE Epic Orchestra" sound set.

Hello moh!

Synchron FX Strings I is easier to use with DAW software than with notation software. There is no Sibelius sound set for this library. Furthermore I couldn't find Synchron FX Strings I, Synchron Strings I or Appassionata Strings registered under your account. If you need more help with these libraries, please let me know which name or e-mail address these products are registered with. Could it be that you mean Epic Orchestra 2.0? How to use this library with Sibelius is explained in the "Optimizing Sibelius Playback" manual.

Hello Stig!

I just remembered that rolls and single strokes are in the same patch. So my previous answer isn't very useful in your case. Anyway, the Bass Drum single strokes will not crossfade, even with Velocity XFade is turned on. With Velocity XFade turned on, the assigned controller will just be the selector of the dynamic level, but no crossfade will happen.

Best regards,
Andi

Hello Marcabru!

Expression is just a second volume control. With Velocity XFade turned on, all velocity layers get played simultaneously, and with the controller you can crossfade between the layers. This way you can make crescendi and decrescendi that are more than just a volume fade.

For sending dynamic commands from a notation software, I recommend sending velocity and the CC that controls Velocity XFade.

Andi

Hello David!

So far there are no dedicated Dorico Expression Maps for our libraries.

Hello Stig!

On the EDIT page of Synchron Player, you can turn Velocity XFade on or off for each slot individually.

Hello pk-1!

The MIDI files that come with Epic Orchestra 2.0 are the same "Cinematic" files that come with the Power Drums. So it's not corrupted.

Hello Benjamin!

You write that Vienna Ensemble Pro appears in Cubase. But does Vienna Ensemble Pro /// (VST3) appear in Cubase? For now I can only repeat that I would try to re-install Vienna Ensemble Pro. Make sure that VST3 is selected for installation during the installation process.

Hello Albert!

It mainly depends on the number of samples streamed and effects to be calculated at the same time and not what kind of samples they are.

Andi

Hello Albert!

My guess is that you are either overstraining your computer or the MIDI standard. I would try to use the VE Pro plugin and VE Pro Server instead of using IAC buses.

Andi

Hello Benjamin!

As far as I know, the workaround you are writing about is only necessary with Catalina. As you have written that you are using Mojave, I don't think it will be helpful in your case. Does Vienna Ensemble Pro VST3 appear in a different host, if you have one?

Hello pk-1!

Could it be that you didn't install the Power Drums Library Update yet?

Hello Benjamin!

Vienna Instruments Pro is not available as VST3-Instrument. Vienna Ensemble Pro and Synchron Player should be available, as soon as they are installed. I would try re-installing them. You can find the latest software versions here:

Does that help?

Hello Benjamin!

Please see our statement regarding Catalina support.

Hello mjdefeomiller and welcome to the forum!

The Trombone glissando can be triggered with the Technique Text command "glissando". The glissando line will not work. How to trigger the various articulations of the Trombone library, can be seen in the "Optimizing Sibelius Playback" manual, page 24 and pages 9 and 12.
