No snare drum rolls in Sibelius ?

[Gone To Lunch]

I think this is much more about Sibelius than VSL, but I am posting it here just in case anyone else has the same issues.....

I am using Sib 8.2 under El Capitan 10.11.3 and trying (unsuccessfully) to do a simple snare drum roll.

My composition includes a snare drum part of single beats and the occasional roll, but rolls do not seem to be possible in Sib 8.2 ?   The VSL snare drum roll samples work a treat in my Digital Performer DAW, but not in Sibelius.

When I attach my single stave drum score to the VSL VI through playback, it will only pick up the single beats, C4, and not the rolls C#4 ?

So I tried using the on board Sibelius 7 sound set and the same thing happens.  Yes I can get a buzz roll with the Z marking on the note, but it sounds hideously mechanistic, great for EDM but not the classical piece I am working on ?

Hello Gone To Lunch!

Of course it's possible to trigger snare drum rolls with Sibelius as well. Please check out the "Optimizing Sibelius Playback" manual, page 8, on how to do it. If you have already tried what's written there, please take a look at the "Troubleshooting" chapter as well.
