Unlocking Sibelius: Part I - Kontakt

[@romeubarillari-portifosmus6972]

Hello. Ok? So... One question, please. Which VST libraries does Sibelius support? Does Sibelius allow for more than one or several different VST libraries in a single score? E.g. Noteperformer or Vienna for Orchestra instruments, Kontakt for guitar with pedalboard effects, UVI world suite and JADE Ethnic Percussion for ethnic instruments. Is there a possibility to use them in the same edition at the same time? Awaiting return. Thank you very much for your attention. Success on the channel! tmj 👊👍👏🙂

As long as you link your VST libraries to sibelius, any library should be compatible. And yes, it is possible to mix and match different libraries when you make your own custom Sound Set. I believe I go over this in part 3 of this series. Sorry I took so long. Just now seeing this question. Hope it helps.

Hi DeVante - Thank you for putting these videos together (I,II,III,IV). I am an "old dog" and these are "new tricks" for me. I am using EW Hollywood Opus (Diamond) Sounds. I compose everything in Sibelius Ultimate and have been looking for a way to compose in Sibelius with NotePerformer 4 and then import (with all of the articulations and expression included) into Studio One v5.5. I'm not understanding how to import the articulations from the EW sounds into the Sound Variations feature in Studio One. Also, I'm a bit lost as your example in the first episode uses the Symphony Series and I'm using EW Hollywood Opus (Diamond). Any help would be greatly appreciated. I wish you every success. Thank You! Scott Freeby

Use the sound variations in studio one to create an articulation map. The process is similar to what happens in the Sound Set Editor. I might make a video on the subject as it has some nuances

Hi dude, amazing video!! Started following the series today, and they couldn’t have come at a better time. Right now, I’m trying to recreate an orchestra acommpaniment for a cello concerto, using this method. Quick question: Since I have a whole orchestra and many sections (when combined), do I have to assign violins to a different channel as for instance flutes (3|4), or will it work as it is? Awsome tutorial! Cheers :))

Thanks dude! I'm glad you enjoyed it and find it useful. As for your question: use a different instance of kontakt/komplete kontrol for each orchestra section. Also, create a new channel for each instrument you want. So Violin I would be (3/4) and Violin II will be (5/6) in your String Section kontakt/KK
