Hi Dave!
Here is a link to the Sibelius Sound Set Editor. Please note that this software is not from us and cannot be supported by us.
https://www.sibelius.com/download/sse/main.html
Where exactly did you find an outdated link on our website?
Best,
Andi
I'm probably mistaken about the location of the dead link to the editor, it could have been a YouTube provided link to the Sibelius editor. The link was dead, that's for sure. I've yet to find the editor on the Avid website under Sibelius.
Reason I'm still interested is because of switching problems when I use the SE + Vol.1 PRESET. Now that you've explained about the ord. or nat. usage, I can use the SE Vol.1 presets just fine, but not the Plus, which I also have Vol.1.
When using the Sibelius Keypad "Accent" articulation on SE + Vol.1, Violin 1 Preset, it triggers the VSL 'harm-art staccato'. That's a harmonic patch. I instead expected it would trigger something like the detache patch, definitely not harmonics. There's several patches in the SE + Vol.1 that don't get triggered by Sibelius, like col legno, tril1 and tril2, perf-rep legato, etc.
Sincerely yours,
Dave

Hi Dave!
For the Special Edition PLUS volumes, I recommend using the sound set "VE Special Editin PLUS" and the dedicated VI presets that come with the VSL Soundset Installer for Sibelius. This installer can be found in the Vienna Assistant under Additionals/Notation. If you are still working with our eLicenser software versions, you can download the installer here:

How to trigger the various articulations is explained here:

I had already downloaded and installed the VSL Soundset Installer for Sibelius (SibeliusSoundsets-WIN-1.0.222.exe). It's the same one in the link you just provided. There is no such folder as "VE Special Edition PLUS" showing in my VE presets pane under Sibelius. (see dropbox linked images below).
I only have access to the following Presets under the Sibelius "Special Edition 6.0" folder:
1. SE Vol.1 (standard Special Edition presets, which I have)
2. SE + Vol.1 (SE Vol.1 PLUS presets)
The "SE + Vol.1" folder is what gives me access to the SE Vol.1 PLUS presets, and those are the Violin 1 patches I was talking about in my previoius email.

Andi,
I don't have any of the SYNCHRON libraries.
I only have the original Special Edition Vol.1 library, and the 1st PLUS library.
There is no SYNCHRON stuff showing in my VE screen images if you will notice in those image links I sent.
The "How to Trigger Articulations" article you sent me a link to is pointing to SYNCHRON folders with "SE SY Special Edition". If you will look at the screen images I sent, you'll notice under the Sibelius heading I only have access to the "Special Edition 6.0" folder.

Hi Dave!
The VI prests from the folder "SE + Vol.1" are correct.
The link to the manual that I have sent on how to trigger articulations is for VI Special Editions AND for SYNCHRON-ized Special Editions. So it's the correct place for you too.
It seems that you didn't load the correct sound set in Sibelius yet. This sound set should get installed by running the VSL Soundset Installer. Does the installer run succesfully? Can you post a screenshot that shows the sound sets that you have available in Sibelius?
Best regards,
Andi
The VSL Soundset Installer is the file "SibeliusSoundsets-WIN-1.0.222.exe", correct? That's the file that downloaded from the VSL link.
When I execute that file, it automatically installs the Soundsets. It is not giving me any indication of VSL availability on my computer. Remember, I'm using Windows 7.
Below is a screen pic of the only folder where I can find VSL Soundsets pointing to my Special Edition Vol.1, and SE Plus .xml files.

Andi,
Here's the latest I discovered. (And thanks for having patience with me on this). Everything underlined below is a setting name, either in VE or in Sibelius.
The SE Vol. 1 PLUS articulations are under the "Vienna Ensemble Special Edition Plus" list in the "Sound set:" box under the "Device:" box.
Somehow I missed it when selecting it in the "Playback Devices" dialog. Still, not everything in the PLUS arts gets triggered, like Detache. Here is a video of Sibelius triggering the PLUS "Violins Orchestral" articulations:
The setup steps I did in Sibelius:
I think I'm done with this. Thanks for your help. I think that's as many PLUS articulations I'll need in Sibelius.
Sincerely yours,
Dave

Hi Dave!
Windows 7 cannot be supported from us anymore. Maybe the Soundset Installer doesn't run correctly under Windows 7. Anyway, you can use the pre-installed sound set "VSL Ensemble Special Editin PLUS" instead of the "VE Special Edition PLUS" sound set. It's just an old version of the same sound set.
As far as I can see in your video, everything works as expected. To trigger detache, I would use the Technique Text command "detache".
Best regards,
Andi
Thanks Andi.
