Sibelius 7.5, Epic Orch., Woodwinds 1, VEP 5

[ghoststrat]

Hello,

Is it possible to have Epic Orchestra and Woodwinds 1 hosted in the same VEP 5 instance?  If so, how do I deal with the soundset difference?  I tried to use an Event Input plugin, and point it to my VEP instance, but couldn't get it to work properly.

Thank you for the help..

Hello ghoststrat!

Yes, that's possible with help of the VEP Event Input. A detailed description on how to do it can be found in the "Optimizing Sibelius Playback" manual, page 5.

If you need further assitence, please describe in more detail what you have tried and what doesn't work for you.

Best regards,
Andi

Perfect, thanks!  There's so much documentation, and steep learning curve, that I'm missing some obvious things.  Thank you for your patience.

Once more question:  I'm noticing that my event input isn't saving it's assignment when I reload Sibelius each time.  Both instances of VEP 5 that I'm running are set to Preserve.  It's also worth mentioning that sometimes my second instance of VEP 5 doesn't open when I open my score (after starting the VEP server, of course).

Thanks again!

Sibelius saves the Playback Configuration separately from the score. So if you make settings or changes in your loaded instruments, always save your Sibelius Playback Configurations afterwards.

Best,

I do that obssessively, which is why it suprises me when it doesn't load properly.  Sometimes an entire instance of VEP doesn't load, then other times it may load 'empty', then other times it loads fine.  I've gotten into the habit of saving VEP Server, and both VEP instances every few minutes, just to make sure.

Maybe your problem comes from your Preserve/Decouple settings. Please check out the "Preserve, Decouple, ..." chapter in the Vienna Ensemble Pro manual, page 38ff. I hope this helps.
