The included sounds with Sibelius 5 are very stripped down, only the basic sounds are provided. Is there a list of what sounds from what instruments are included in the sibelius sounds available? Is it only about 8 sounds in the snare instrument? I see tons of sounds listed when i do edit staff types however when i open the instruments in Kontakt all i get are 8-10 sounds per instrument. How many VDL sounds are actually included in Sibelius 5. the problem becomes very apparent when playing long rolls, and it even seems to ' skip' around when playing fast notes.I've read the forum posts that give explanations on how these issues might be solved, but i'm afraid most of them apply to sibelius 3/4 and vdl 2.5, not the vdl included with sib 5.

Regarding the choppiness, here are my system specs: dell LAPTOP (for now), 1.6 ghz intel centrino processor, 512 ram, running XP pro, and sibelius 5.

also, the sibelius 5 version of vdl comes with limited sounds for each of those instruments (i think), but once i figure out all the sounds it can actually play and figure out how to notate them, i should know if more sounds are required. For now, i plan on just using the four standard drumline instruments. Sorry for not including the pertinent information. I will definitely consult the reference guide and try to answer some questions myself. So make sure to пїЅпїЅпїЅDo your homework!пїЅЫќДЄgain, be patient. There is just a small learning curve that they are going to have to get over.

The changes that Sibelius has made in version 5 are going to free up more time to actually write music instead of messing with the playback settings. Some folks wonder why they sell an imperfect product. You can also go to the Sibelius forum/chat page for even more information:пїЅпїЅ Once people figure out how this SoundWorld thing works, I think they won't have much need for Midi Yoke and the like anymore. You will answer a lot of questions that you didn't even know to ask. You don't have to read the whole book, but spend some time reading up on the features that you are interested in use the Index at the end to help you find topics. Read the section on SoundWorld in your Sib 5 Reference for more information. Sibelius 5 uses a new - and very different - system for naming and classifying sound timbres. I believe someone may be working on this as well. If you are trying to use the VDL sounds that are in Sibelius Essentials, the problem is that the default instruments that came on the Sib 5 installation disk have not been completely mapped.пїЅпїЅ At least that has been my experience also. Yes, a template should fix all of the above.ДЄ ' template' is just a master file that has all of the pertinent instruments completely mapped and ready for use. Hopefully I can figure some of this stuff out by playing around with it a little more, but I'm doubtful of my abilities, so I'm hoping someone responds soon with solutions. Sorry if my questions sound amateurish like i said, i'm new to all this stuff. Do you have any advice on how i can edit the notes so that they play the correct drum? I was wondering if this problem was attributed to ' templates', even though i have no idea what a template is (it just sounded important).

Is this supposed to happen? It's really quite annoying when the top note plays the 2nd bass, etc. For instance, for the 5 bass drums, if I place notes sequentially going up the staff, the playback plays bass 5, then bass 3, then bass 4, then bass 1, and finally bass 2. I think the bass drum order is all messed up. I tried to follow the quickstart guide that mentions things like Midi Yoke, but does that really apply with sibelius 5 and the included vdl?ДЄ bigger problem at hand for me is the bass drum notation.

so my first question would be, should i bother getting vdl 2.5? I like all the drum sounds that sibelius 5 comes with, and i don't think i need more than that, but i've been experiencing some issues with playback ' choppiness', and i was wondering if this could be fixed by upgrading to 2.5. I just bought Sibelius 5, mainly because virtual drumline was included with it. I've been messing around with sibelius for a little while, and i've run into a few problems. Hi everyone! Okay, so I'm REALLY new to all this sibelius and vdl stuff, and even this forum (this is my first post!).
