No Vienna in "aviable devices" in Sibelius

[Patrozart]

Hey, Anybody knows, why I can't find or create a VSL-Device in Sibelius? Should I install the vienna instruments in an other direction, or copy and paste the "Vienna Ensemble.dll" in a specific direction? This is the absolutely first basic step for the connection, and I can't find andything about that.. Thanks for help!

Hello Patrozart!

If you have installed Vienna Instruments/Vienna Ensemble on a Windows computer and they do not appear in the list of available devices, you will have to “tell” Sibelius the path where your virtual instruments and effects are located. To do so, go to  Playback Devices/Audio Engine Options/Virtual Instruments and Effects Folder and choose the path where you installed the Vienna Ensemble VST plugin (= the path where the file Vienna Ensemble.dll is located). If you are using Sibelius 7 64-bit, you will have to add the folder where the 64-bit version of the Vienna Ensemble plugin ("Vienna Ensemble x64.dll") is installed. Then restart Sibelius.

As an introduction to the Sibelius/VSL topic I recommend watching the "VSL and Sibelius" tutorial video.

All details on how to set up Sibelius with our instruments can be found in the "Optimizing Sibelius Playback" manual.
