I often prepare my Sibelius scores with additional separate parts staves, which brings an additional consideration into the mix (pun intended). When using Sibelius Player by itself, I’ve had good luck with not trying to manually allocate the sounds to specific channels etc, but rather, let the program sort out the voice allocation automatically (although in your case, it sounds like that may not be working for you): In addition, you can mix and match other sound sets with Sibelius Player, for instance, to combine a GM sound set, NotePerformer and Sibelius Player all active at once:
If you are using a third party VST or AU plugin for sounds such as NotePerformer (in Sibelius’s PLAY>SETUP), you can add as many iterations of the sound set as your computer will keep up with: On my hard drive, the Sibelius 7 Samples folder is 36.85 GB (installed from 4 DVDs). Perhaps obvious, but I would also check to make sure that the complete Sibelius Sounds library was installed. Check Preferences > Playback > Sibelius Player Options to make sure this hasn’t been inadvertently changed to a lower value: This shouldn’t be a problem, though, since the Sibelius Player supports up to 128 channels.
Regardless of whether you are using the Sibelius 7 Sounds, Sibelius 7 sounds (light) or Sibelius 6 sounds, only one iteration of the Sibelius Player can be included as a sound set. Or, do others not experience this? Is there something else happening that’s causing the notes to cut off? My question is whether there is a quick work around for this, or do people generally custom-route their instruments to channels in a way that avoids conflicting notes (i.e., pair bass instruments with treble – but then might you encounter key-switch conflicts when you export to a DAW for mockup? – so perhaps pair instruments that share similar rhythms and would therefore have similar note-off times if they do happen to cross)? (To date, I’ve been using the channels that Sibelius automatically assigns to each instrument – maybe that’s my mistake).
(For example, a harp arpeggio might cut off a sustained choral note on the same channel). My guess has been that given the number of midi channels available, multiple instruments are placed on each channel, and instruments on the same channel occasionally play the same note – and the note-off signal from one instrument is cutting off both/all of those unison notes. This is especially a problem with larger scores (30+ instruments). When playing back scores in Sibelius 7.5, I frequently have notes cut off suddenly throughout a score. I do seem to notice that happens only after I've done a lot of editing or the like in BiaB, leading me to believe that it is some sort of resource issue maybe.Īnd - If all else fails, try a "Return to Factory Settings" under the Opt menu, but pick the SECOND button there, so that the wizard can re-address your soundcard and MIDI synth.Seattle composer Bill Panks posted this question about missing notes during Sibelius score playback on the Seattle Composer’s Alliance Discussion email list, which I thought I would share here: Might be some mundane difference in an OS setting somewhere or the like. Problem is that it happens so sporadically that I don't think it is easy for development to duplicate, or to duplicate at all. If no joy there, check the control panel for whatever DXi synth you may be using, locate its Volume Fader tab and check to see that all volume faders including the Master are still turned up ALL THE WAY.ĭon't know if this is your exact problem, but I have encountered that occasionally on an XP SP3 machine here. See if any of them have mysteriously been turned all the way down or muted.
Dorico no sound on playback software#
Check the Faders in your soundcard's software mixer, accessed either via the little speaker icon in the taskbar or via the Control Panel.
