VSTs appearing in Mac Devices Configuration list

[MarkSealey]

I'm new to Sibelius (6.2.0; on Mac OSX, 10.6.6). Working to understand all the ins and outs of playback with virtual instruments.

I have Vienna Special Edition on an external hard drive. It's always successfully found (e.g. in Logic Pro 9) thanks to what I assume has to be a correct setup of Directory manager.

May I ask two questions, please:

1. I ran the Vienna Ensemble installer (on Mac OS): why do Vienna Instruments VST and Vienna Ensemble VST devices show up in Sibelius 6 available devices?
    
2. When do I use Vienna Instruments as my device; when do I use Vienna Ensemble as my device?

Thanks so much.

Hello Mark!

Vienna Ensemble is our host and mixing environment for the Vienna Instruments. It enables you to load multiple Vienna Instruments on different channels. With Sibelius I recommend always using Vienna Ensemble.

At the following location you can find our Sibelius & Vienna Ensemble tutorial video:

Also check out the "Optimizing Sibelius Playback" manual and the Vienna Ensemble manual. They can be downloaded here:
