Solo voices Aa-Ta

[Stephen W. Beatty]

Hi All, 

The solo voices are a joy to use! In Logic Pro I am able to access the Aa-Ta variations using the CC1 controler and the play back is perfect. If I save the sequence as a midi file and open it in Sibelius the playback is the same as the sequence with the CC1 apparently imbeded in Sibelius. If I load the Sibelius playback file instead of the standard file the playback voice reverts to Aa only. Are there any plans to implement the Aa-Ta sounds in Sibelius?

Thanks, 

Stephen W. Beatty

Hello Stephen!

The Solo Voices presets for Sibelius come with custom cells (cells A9 to A11). This way it’s possible to use additional patches, that are not included in the VI presets for Sibelius by default. Just add the desired patch(es) to one of these three cells. To switch to these cells from your Sibelius score, use one of the following Technique Text commands: “custom” or “custom1” for cell A9, “custom2” for cell A10 and  “custom3” for cell A11. (Only available with Vienna Symphonic Library House Style loaded.)

It's also possible to use the presets or matrices that came with the Solo Voices content with Sibelius. This way the PA-, RA-, SA- and TA-articulations can be triggered with CC1 MIDI commands. If you load these presets, it's recommended to set the Expression fader to another CC than 11 (or None).

Best regards,
Andi

Thanks Andi,

Loading the preset and using modulation to change words works perfectly and adds a great deal of realism to the voice. You can even switch to different articulations using CC23 instead of keyswitches in Sibelius. 

These solo voices are real gems!
