Imperial not launching in Sibelius

[misterclare]

The standalone works fine, but activating Imperial (VST or AU) in the Sibelius Playback Devices dialog does not create an instance of Imperial. Vienna Ensemble launches immediately upon activation, I would think it would be the same with Imperial. How do I get Sibelius talking to it? Thanks, Clare

Hello Clare!

That's odd. What does happen when you activate Vienna Imperial? Did you try to click on "Show"?

By the way. It is also possible to add Vienna Imperial inside a Vienna Ensemble instance.

Best regards,

Oh. It was hiding there, just with no sound loaded. That's what the "Show" button does, then. It now works by itself in a solo piano piece, but not in an ensemble piece. I want to use it with a string trio and percussion (all Vienna). Do I need to add it to a Vienna Ensemble instance? How do I load it? Imperial is not available as a preset (or in the Matrix or Patch window). Thanks, Clare

Hi Clare!

It should also work in combination with other instruments. Please assign the Special Edition Sound Set to the Vienna Imperial and assign the program "Piano" on the Manual Sound Sets page.

Best,
Andi
