VE 6 - Sibelius 8: FortePiano and Sforzando in VSL single instruments (Keyswitch/CC 1)

[jcandela]

Hello,

Thanks for listen to me and thans for this great community.

Apologize because english is not my first language.

My consultation is as follows:

I have Vienna Ensemble 6 with the preset Bassoon (W1-04 Bassoon L22) selected.

In the right of the "Instrument" window I see Keysw for the X-Axis.

When Sibelius 8 play fp (fortepiano) in Sibelius,  the Velocity X-fade moves in Vienna Ensemble

but that what I want is that Viernna Ensemble select the sample fpNv (26 BA_fp_noVib) .

Same thing with sfz.

Have you a solution for me in order to succeed in obaining that I want ?

Thanks a lot,

José Candela

Hello José!

When everything is set up correctly, the fp articulation should be triggered automatically, when you write fp in your Sibelius score. It's the same with sfz. It can have different reasons why articulation changes don't work correctly. Please check the Troubleshooting chapter of the "Optimizing Sibelius Playback" manual.

Thanks Andi, With your help, the fp and sfz problems are now resolved after then correct loading of the VSL house style in Sibelius. But it is another problem remaining, not mentioned in my previous post. When I'm in a "con sordino" passage, the pizz command doesn't work: the pizz sample selected is the "senza sordino" one, instead of "con sordino" pizz. Have you some idea about that ? A lot of thanks again, José Candela MADRID

Hello José!

I'm glad that you were able to solve your problem.

I guess you are using Solo Strings I+II, right? If you have an "ord." or "normal" command somewhere after the "con sordino" command, all following articulation will be "senza sordino" again. Otherwise my first reply would also fit to your second question. ;-)

Best,
Andi

Hi Andi,

Thanks  again to your help I've solved definetly my little problems, even those concerning the "con sordino", etc.

In fact, I'm using Orchestral Strings no Solo Strings, but the problem concerning pizz / con-senza sordino was has been fixed when I´ve changed from VE Strings (3/2/13) to VE Strings in the general configuration in Sibelius (see two photos in attachement).

Hello José!

Thanks for the update. By the way. The sound set "VE Strings (3/2/13)" must be a modified sound set and is not from us.

Best,
Andi
