VE SE Percussion & Sibelius

[mischamouse]

Hi all,

Is there a problem with the current VE SE and SE Plus sound sets or is it me? I can trigger all percussion sounds except the snare drum and I've also noticed that when 'choke' as a techniques is applied to a cymbal D#6 is played and not C#6 as it states in the 'Optimizing Sibelius Playback' pdf.

best wishes

Hi all,

After much testing I have found that the percussion works fine. However it appears that when I have 2 or 3 staves with the same sound then everything goes pear shaped. Now when I reload my score I have all 3 trumpets playing on one channel only, which would be ok if I wasn't using legato samples.

Is there a remedy for this? I'm using Sibelius 6.2

best wishes Simon

Hi Simon!

Here is an excerpt of the "Optimizing Sibelius Playback" manual / Troubleshooting section:
There is a playback bug in Sibelius which sometimes occurs when the same instrument is used more than once. Normally, it helps to create a new version of the problematic instrument, cut out the content of the old instrument and paste it into the new one.
If this doesn't help, try the following thing:
Go to the Sibelius mixer and reset the output devices to (Auto) for the instruments that do not switch correctly or play on the wrong channel.

I hope this helps.

Best regards,
Andi

Thanks Andi.

I have just slapped myself round the head shouting RTFM. Oh welll.
