So I'm using VDL 2.5 on Sibelius 5.2 on a MacBook 10.5 (Leopard). I've installed everything and it's all running great, but when I enter any buzz sounds or roll sounds (most of the stuff on the upper part of the keyboard) through a MIDI controller it enters a note on the staff, but during playback nothing comes out.
I've looked at everything I can think of to fix it and have no idea what's going on. All the other snare sounds come out perfectly (taps, shots, cowbells, duts, etc.) but not buzzes and rolls.
If neither of those work, try a search of the Forum. I've probably read some of these topics 3 or more times.
Good luck.

Ah, thank you. I searched for anyone else with snare roll problems earlier, but it turns out I had misspelled ";snare";, hahah. They sound now, but I have to go back after I input stuff through flexi-time and add all the buzzes to the stems. is there any way around this?

The way the VDL template interacts with Sibelius requires that you have to manually enter in all articulations and tremolos (i.e. buzzes) after the note is entered. There isn't any good way to work around it without redesigning how the template works.

As of right now that is not an option within Sibelius, and I assure you it would be setup that way if it was available. Hopefully in the future.
One thing that may be a little bit faster is to enter the articulations as you go, using the keypad.

Any help? Thanks!
