    Hello!

    I have followed the instructions as given and installed a string quartet into my Vienna Ensemble Pro 7. I'm using SE+ Vol. 1 Solo cello +, have correctly assigned a manual soundset of strings.violoncello. Further, I added the instrument "solo violoncello" under instruments. I have also followed the instructions re: triggering harmonics under "Sibelius Integration" and it will simply not switch between anything. The weird part is the two violins and viola are switching just fine and are responding correctly to all the commands as outlined in the Sibelius Integration page.

    Long time user here. I appreciate your support.

    Thanks,

    Joel Love

    Hello Joel!

    My first guess is that you might have the wrong Sibelius instrument in your score. Use Solo Violin, Solo Viola , ... for solo instruments and Violin 1, Violin 2, Violin I, Viola, … for ensemble strings. More possible reasons and solutions can be found at the following link:

    If you need more help, please send the following screenshots to support@vsl.co.at and I will take a look at them.

    - Sibelius "Add or Remove Instruments" menu
    - Sibelius mixer
    - Sibelius Playback Devices menu
    - Sibelius Manual Sound Sets page of all loaded devices
    - Vienna Ensemble showing the cello

    As I am on a vacation, please have a little patience with the answer.

    Best regards,
    Andi
