I am using the trial version of Ultimate. I want to try out the Sounds 7 feature before deciding to purchase. Under Configuration drop-down, Sibelius Player is not an option, nor is Sibelius 7 Sounds listed under available devises. In the program files, I see a 'Sounds' file and in the file, there are sound sets listed, plus VDL that I downloaded.

Question: Is Sibelius Player not available for trail period or are the files in the wrong place?

I attached some screen shots

Thank you

You do not have sibelius sounds installed. AFAIK, the trial version does come with a (limited) soundset - like the one for the free version. It is a separate download. Look for it in your MyAvid account.

Personally, I prefer NotePerformer. It is far from perfect, but it is much, much better than Sib sounds. It also has a free trial.
