Yes, you will need the Vienna Key then.
Are you sure that you get the price in pounds? My collegue just told me, that the price for our download products always get displayed in Euro, no matter from where you are buying. But that should be no problem, you can buy them nevertheless with your credit card.
The Bb trumpet will be available early next year.
Best,

Hi Ross!
Sorry, that you are having difficulties.
You are not required to buy anything else. You can buy whatever collections you want to have. If you only want the C Trumpet, then this is exactly what you get. But of course you cannot expect the trumpet to play flute, violin or cello sounds. [;)]
As you noticed you can activate more instruments with Sibelius. So if you want a flute, please activate whatever instruments you might have, to play flute sounds.
You will understand that I can't give you instruction how to use non VSL sounds. I don't even know what instruments you have.
About your latency problem. I heard that Sibelius has some problems in the latest version with latecny compensation. This occurs only when mixing VSL sounds with other sounds. If the VSL sounds are late, I recommend doing the following:
Select your VSL staves (in your case the trumpet) by trippleclicking them. Activate the Sibelius Properties window by Clicking on Windows/Properties. Go to the Playback section. Select Live start position and enter a negative value, so that these staves get played back a bit earlier. You might have to experiment a bit to find the best value.
Did you create a trumpet matrix with the patches you need for your score as described earlier in this thread? This is required, if you want to hear different articulations and not just one sound.
Don't get frustrated to quick. I think you are almost there.
Best wishes and merry christmas,
Andi
Hi Ross!
For the trumpet you don't have to set anything in the manual sound sets tab, because you don't use a sound set. If the trumpet plays on one of the Sound Essential channels, go to the Sibelius mixer and set Vienna Ensemble (and if necessary channel 1) as output device.
Creating your own C Trumpet Sibelius matrix in Vienna Ensemble:
1) Go to Patch Assign.
2) Drag the border of the empty matrix, so that you have place for 12 patches horizontally.
3) Choose the patches you will need in your score and drag them one after the other on the free spaces. (probably staccato, one or two of the sustains, one or two of the Performance Intervalls, ...)
4) Click Control Edit and set H-Span to Keyswitches starting with C1.
5) You can now change articulations from Sibelius with MIDI commands as described earlier in this thread.
6) By saving your Playback Configuration you automatically also save your settings in Vienna Ensemble.
If you want to return your product, please contact sales@vsl.co.at
Best wishes,
Andi
