  • VSL Sibelius House Style Missing Instruments?

    The Sibelius House Style for Sibelius 7 v2.1 seems to be missing some custom instruments. There are custom instruments for Appassionata, Chamber, Dimension, and Orchestral Strings. This is necessary because the soundset has different soundIDs for the different instruments. All of the Brass ensembles have different soundIDs as well but no custom instruments seem to be included in the House Style. Am I missing something? Shouldn't there be custom instruments for all the brass and wind ensembles from flutes to trombones?

  • For the woodwinds and brass there are no custom instruments necessary. The instruments that come with Sibelius work fine.

    It's true that the Sound IDs of the woodwind and brass ensembles have additional entries in the sound set. If you are using these instruments without the solo instruments of the same kind in one score, these entries have no relevance. If you want to use staves with solo and ensemble instruments of the same kind in one score, simply add one of the following text commands to the ensemble staff:
    "tutti" for the Flute, Oboe, Clarinet, Bassoon and Trombone Ensemble
    "a3" for the Trumpet Ensemble (3 Players)
    "a4" for the Horn Ensemble (4 Players)
    "a6" for the Fanfare Trumpets (6 Players)
    "a8" for the Epic Horns (8 Players)

    Best regards,
    Andi
