Sibelius Sounds FAQ
Do I need Sibelius 5 in order to use the Sibelius Rock and Pop Collection, Sibelius Sounds Choral and Sibelius Sounds World Music sounds?
Yes. All of these products use Kontakt Player 2, which is included with Sibelius 5.
What are the computer requirements?
See the product page for each sound collection for details.
Can I export an audio file from my score?
Yes.
Can I play back sounds from two or more Sibelius Sounds collections simultaneously?
Yes. Using Sibelius 5 you can play back using as many virtual instruments and sample libraries as you wish, all at the same time (subject to the capabilities of your computer).
Simply activate another Kontakt Player 2 and choose the sound set appropriate for the sounds you want to use.
Can I play back some staves in a score using one of the Sibelius Sounds collections, and other staves using another MIDI device?
Yes, just select the desired device in the Sibelius mixer.
Can I use Sibelius Sounds to play back from other music software?
No; this is because they are integrated with Sibelius to make them easier to use with it.
Is Garritan Personal Orchestra (Sibelius Edition) the same as the Advanced Edition?
No, the sounds are from the standard edition of Garritan Personal Orchestra.
I have G7 – can I use any of the Sibelius Sounds?
You can only use the Kontakt G7 Edition sounds that come with G7.
