east west play in 7

[alibomb]

Hi everyone

I am a female composer and singer who purchased the complete composer's collection HD by East West. It was a real chore to install this massive library. It took a few days to get it all going. Once it was done I also had to upgrade my ram (maxed out at 8 gigs on a macbook pro.) and get a good firewire box, as the hard drive ships without one. It worked without any hitches in logic. simply pick the instrument and change it to play, pick a sample and go. I recently began using sibelius 7.

I got a membership to macprovideo.com and have gone through both of their tuts. One is on 5 and one on 6. They were extremely informative and I would venture to say, far more helpful than the ones that come with the program. But I can not figure out how to change samples to third party stuff. The included samples sound terribly thin and weak. I am unable to see any button or option that would allow other samples or sampler to be used. I would like to use the "play" sampler that come with the sample library. This is partly because one of the libraries is a vocal collection with a word builder. If anyone knows of any tutorials that address this (or even something similar) I would be grateful!

Discussed ad nauseam on the official Sibelius Forum, together with details of the Sibelius soundsets you'll need for easy(ish) operation.

I generally prefer to go to user run sites. I haven't even had the time to get to my storage and dig out my box with the serial number, so I can get on to the avid site. If anyone knows how to use east west's play with sibelius 7, I would appreciate some pointers!

Although it's Avid's site, it's very much 'run' by its contributors and is probably the only place that you're going to get the info you need. So dig out the s/no and sign up!
