Hi Dean -- I'm a lurker, and don't know much about Sibelius, but aren't you on a Mac? And if that's the case, wouldn't you need an AU (Audio Unit) version of Kontakt installed, not VST? Hoping this helps ... -- Mike On Oct 25, 2007, at 10:20 PM, Dean M. Estabrook wrote: Yeah, I've been

Hi Richard ... thank you for the response. Well, the Reference book is built into Sib as a menu item, unless you mean something different. If you do, then, yes, I would love the PDF. I haven't downloaded 5.1 yet, because I'm still awaiting my Registration # from Sibelius. I think I would

You are, of course, correct. The reference is included in the help menu. My Finale is 2005 so I have no direct experience with Finale and GPO but I can say that my Sibelius sounds *much* better than what I used to get from MIDI alone or from the, now outdated, small sample library (Kontakt

Yeah, I'm using Kontkt 2, the right hand panel in the set up window, at Daniel's suggestion, reads kontakt 2 VST, with the sound sets reading Sib essential sounds. This is the only combination, that I've found, at least, that the program will allow to make any playback possible. His

Yeah, I've been going though it over and over with Daniel and another Sib man, so far, everything seems to be installed and in the correct folders. The path from the Kontakt 2 Library to the needed files in the Ap Folder seems to be in place ... so far, at least, the answer is not

Do you have the reference book? If not, e-mail me and I will send you a .PDF version of it. There are almost 100 pages about the playback and sound. In Sib 4 we had a much simpler sound system. I have the Sibelius GPO (the entire GPO library optimized for Sib) that did a wonderful job in Sib
