    I want to use a keyswitch in sibelius to turn the velocity cross fader on and off. How do I assign a keyswitch in VI.

    I have tried "learn" and then clicking a key on the VI keyboard but when I play that note in Sibelius velocity xfade is not switched on.

    Don't forget that the "learn" will only apply to one track. You have to set it up individually for all tracks.

    I have set up an empty template, that I use for all instances of VI, that has all the keyswitches set up, so that I don't have to do this for every MIDI track in every piece that I work on.

    There is only one "track" and one VI. It's an exercise score so I can practice using the VI with SIB.

    What is the midi data I have to imbed in the SIB score to switch on the velocity xfade in the VI.

    I can imbed the data to controll the slider (an edited dim/cresc plugin with the controller changed to C12 and the VI vxfader controller set to C12) and I want the on off button to be controlled by a keyswitch but can't work out how to do this.

    What's annoying is that I did get all this to work some time ago but now can't.

    Put simply how do I get sibelius to switch the vxfader on and off?

    OK, I've now read your post properly. [:O]ops:

    Keyswitching doesn't work; you have to use a controller. I always thought that this was rather stupid, as a keyswitch is perfect for anything with an on/off function. This also means that when you start at a different place in the score the on/off is often incorrect. Maybe this has been corrected in the latest update; I don't know.

    Thanks DG. That is clumsy. It should be a keyswitch.
