Hi Steve,

I would be very interested in your percussion stuff for Sibelius.  Would you be willing to send me a copy as well?

Many thanks in advance!

Hi Steve,

The Sibelius soundset for percussion you mentioned, is it a soundset for the VI Percussion library or a/the soundset for the SE percussion? In the past months I've been working on a soundset for the VI Percussion library myself, so I'm very curious.

Cheers,
Michel

Hi Steve,

I have the full VI Instruments and am very interested in receiving the Sibelius soundsets and scores as well.  There seems to be something wrong with the VSL website at the moment now so I can't contact you via e-mail.  So here is my e-mail address:

Thank you very much,

Gregory D. Moore

Hi Gregory, and aptmusic, I will send them on to you, but in looking at them, I think I can improve them slightly, so I will just need  a little time to add the improvements and I will send them on.

best,

Steve[:D]

 Thank you Steve.  I'm new to both VI and Sibelius 5 so having a template will be extremely helpful to get me up and running.

Hey Steve,

Would much appreciate those files to:

mctig_igilibo@hotmail.co.uk

Thanks,

Ben.

i Synergy,

It seems to me that you are saying that you have the full VI percussion library and not the SE version? Well, I should explain - the sibelius "score" that I have is based on the Special Edition percussion patches. The only percussion patches I have are from the SE version. I do not have the full vi versions, except for the Orchestral and Appassionata strings.

What I have done is kind of a "score" for each perussion patch - cymbals and gongs, drums, and percussion, and then what you see on the score is simply a note positioned on the stave as it would be in Sibelius 5, then above the note I have typed in what instrument or playing technique of that instrument the note triggers in the SE patch.

I hope that explains what the document really is.

Steve, that sounds like a good idea.  I don't know how closely the SE and full versions are, I guess I'll find out.

In either case, seeing what you've done I'm sure will help me to figure out how to integrate VSL with Sibelius.  Although I can really see how in the case of working with Sibelius, the SE version has an advantage over the full version.  I do have Opus which I might be able to use if the full VSL version proves to be too much of a load.

Hi everyone,

I have finally sent the files onto you, with instructions how to load the file into Sibelius 5 etc, and how to create a "Grand Staff", just another name for a treble and bass staff, that will playback all of whatever percussion or drum, or cymbals/gong patch on that staff.

I did this, as if you have the patch just playing back on a single staff with either a treble or bass clef, it means you will have to use either lots of ledger lines, or keep alternating the treble and bass clefs depending on your need for them. This means you can have lots of things happening from that particular patch, spread over a bass and treble clef - or should I say, two instrument staves in Sibelius 5, but with the playback of one particular patch.

In thinking about it, you could have two different staves, with either a treble and a bass clef on either staff, and the playback from two instruments in Vienna Ensemble, but the same percussion patch used in both instruments in the Vienna Ensemble instance.

Well, I just feel more comfortable using one patch for two staves, just like a piano staff, so I have included instructions on how to do that in the email.

If I have accidentally missed anyone in this thread who wants the files, just email me at stevemusicmartin@hotmail.com and I will send them on to you.

best,

Steve[:D]

Hi Linus,

I have sent the soundset file off to you, as well as all the percussion related material. I hope it is what you are looking for and that it is helpful.

best,

Steve.[:D]

Thanks for the posting on the VSL site regarding Sibelius.  Would you please email to me the sample scores you created showing the placement of the notes for each of the percussion instruments.  I have the Special Edition PLUS.  Many thanks, Michael

Hi Michael,

no problem, just email me at stevemusicmartin@hotmail.com, and I will send them off to your email address will come with your email to me.
