Ok i just got my full version of sibelius and im tring to get the vd 3.1 sounds working on it but every thing i tried doing didnt seem to get it to work. Can some one please help me out by sending me to a guide or seomthing thx.
make sure you have your soundfonts loaded properly.
read the readme that comes with the vVDLsibelius_31.zip. it is very informative.
but first... in the folder there is a subfolder called Sib3 Sound Sets. copy and past all of thoes files in to your c:programfiles.sibeliussoftware/sibelius3/sounds folder... may be incorrect path but its along the right lines.
open: VDLtemplate_v31 and set up everything.
in devices make sure under sound set it says:
virtualdrumline :bank 1 of soundblaster.. if you are using loading soundfonts into a your soundcard.
virtualdrumline: giga/kompakt/kontakt if you are using any of thoes and use
virtualdrumline : soundfont program... i dont kno what thats for.. maybe like. cakewalk or sonar, but thats my guess
after you have set that up and have your VDLtemplate_v31.sib open i would suggest you save it... i dont kno why but i do it just incase.
after that! open your mixer. there should be 5 instruments. (click, snare, tenor, bass, cymbals) dont touch the click.
select snare, go to sounds and scroll down to Vdrumline snare and select scv snareline
select tenors, sound, Vdrumline tenors, SCV tenors, i would choose tenor 1 becuase you can simply change the instrument when you need threw you score by inserting a technique and ~P(programnumber)
select bass, sound, Vdrumline bass, SCV bass, as before i would choose bass1 for the smae reason.
im pretty sure thats it.. but im a noobie

The Kontakt player in Sibelius can only load the sounds it includes with the program. You cannot load third-party sounds like virtual drumline. The easiest way for you to get playback of virtual drumline is to pick up a soundfont compatible sound card. Creative Labs has a wide selection for you to choose from.
