VI Pro and Sibelius

[SPIPPROD]

Hi,

I'm using VI Pro with Sibelius, actually, I'm trying to use...

I load one VI Pro by instrument.

When I load the thirteen instrument, Sibelius crashes, and by the way it has been untill now impossible to load the 50 instrument full orchestra.

Is there a special way or should I come back to the former VI ?

Thanks for your answer

Hello Spipprod!

I recommend using Vienna Ensemble and loading VI Pro with Vienna Ensemble. Loading 50 instruments is possible, but it may be that you are overloading your RAM. Please take a look at the Activity Monitor (Mac) or the Task Manager/Processes (Windows) to see if you are overloading your RAM.

If you haven't done so yet, I also recommend checking out the "Optimizing Sibelius Playback" manual. It can be downloaded here:

No, there's really a bug somewhere. My computer is 16 Gb RAM and I just load 2,5 GB at maximum before the crash.

The fact is that after trying more and more, I can load the instruments; but... I'm loosing one week with this joke.
VE doesn't help me anyway, that's another software to use and it is just more complicated to work.

Hi Spipprod!

Sibelius is a 32-bit application and can only load 32-bit plugins. That's why your computer crashes after loading ~2,5 GB. That's no bug, this is a limit for ALL 32-bit applications. I recommend using Vienna Ensemble Service (64-bit). If you load Vienna Ensemble plugins when VE Service (64-bit) is running in the background, these plugins will connect to the 64-bit service and you will be able to use all of your RAM.

By the way. Please don't answer to e-mail notifications from the forum. These answers will go to an error-account. Our administrator was so kind and posted your reply on the forum for you.

Hi Andi,

Thanks to your links, the system is right now working quite well, simplier and faster with VE. So, I consider the problem as solved.

However, Sibelius connected with VI was able able to load until 8 GB RAM - and certainly more, but I didn't try. It's why I'm a little surprised by what is written above.

Anyway, thanks for your answers,

Best regards,

F.P.
