i am using sibelius 3 with my samples loaded into kontakt, and a oxygen 8 midi keyboard. my samples doent respond to any movements of the modulation wheel, for example: when i want to change to puffies, i move the mod wheel and they dont change. could someone please help me out.

The mod wheel (midi controller 1) should work fine if you activate it as a controller change directly in Sibelius. Obviously, you won't actually see the mod wheel phsically move. :) Enter this text (technique text) at the point where you want to switch to puffs:

~C1,127

Place this command one count before you want to hear the change, and it should work. When you want to go back to regular mallets, type this:

~C1,1
