4. Using the Sound Set
4.1 Selecting the Sound Set
To use the sound set, a new playback conguration needs to be created so Sibelius
knows which plugin(s)/device(s) and sound set(s) to use for playback. To create a new
playback conguration, open the Playback Devices dialog from Play > Playback De-
vices in Sibelius’s menu (Sibelius 5 and Sibelius 6) or by clicking the dialog launcher
button in the Play > Setup group in the ribbon (Sibelius 7).
At the top of this dialog Sibelius displays the name of the currently active playback
conguration, with buttons for several dierent actions including Save, New…,
Rename…, and Delete. Click New…, enter a name for the playback conguration,
and then click OK to create it.
When you create a conguration, Sibelius uses the settings of the current congura-
tion to create the default state of the new one. Select each plugin or device listed in the
Active Devices pane that is not required and click the << Deactivate button to remove
it from the conguration.
Once the unneeded plugins have been
removed, select the appropriate device from
the Available Devices pane and click the
Activate >> button to add it to the con-
guration. In the Active Devices pane, use the drop-down menu in the Sound Set col-
umn to select the Roland Fantom Xa sound set. Click the Save button at the top of the
Playback Devices dialog to save your changes, and close the Playback Devices dialog.
