DS II Sound Set

[Bill]

I'm sure it's being worked on, but hope that the Sibelius presets will combine DS I and II in the same instrument...

yes, a soundset would certainly help, and probably some changes to the document "Optimizing Sibelius Playback" ver. 2.9.  With Dimension Brass all I did was add "mute" and my regular set of articulations that worked in un-muted Dimension Brass would work in the muted samples.  Also, I assume for con sordino Dimension strings you would have to load the samples on the same port (for the soundset) and channel (which is the same staff in Sibeliuis) as the un-muted Dimension Violin.  We also need some guidance on which Preset for the new Con Sordino samples to load.

 

To summarize:

 

1.  Guidance on Technique commands to invoke con sordino

2.  Revised soundset to enable communication between Sibelius commands and the VI Pro player

3.  Guidance on which VI Pro Presets to use

4.  Setup guidance for the Instrument selection on the Manual Soundset page of Sibelius, choice of proper Staff (I assume you would use the Dimension Violin staff for the muted samples)

usw.

 

So, quite a few details to clean up; perhaps I have neglected to mention some.  I think Andi usually is in charge this work.

Hi Bill and Stefan!

The VSL Sound Set Installer with the updated "VE Strings" sound set for Dimension Strings II and the necessary additions to the manual should be available tomorrow.

Best regards,
Andi
