Roland SRX-12 - Sibelius Sound Set User Manual | 13

4.2 Preferred Sounds

When multiple sound sets are used in the same playback conguration there is a good

chance that some instruments will be available in more than one device. For example,

“Library A” and “Library B” may both have a solo violin sound. Even though the

patch names in the sound sets are probably dierent, to Sibelius these two solo violin

sounds are equivalent because the underlying sound ID is the same. is poses a prob-

lem because Sibelius will arbitrarily select one of these sounds which may or may not

be the desired sound.

To instruct Sibelius from which device a sound should play, Preferred Sounds rules can

be added in the playback conguration. Using Preferred Sounds, sounds can be as-

signed very specically or very broadly to a particular device based on their sound IDs.

Note: Preferred Sounds, despite their use in directing sounds to a device, are not a

replacement for a manual sound set when one must be used. ey should be used in

addition to any channel assignments made in a manual sound set.

From the Playback Devices dialog select the Preferred Sounds tab to view currently

applied Preferred Sounds rules (if any) and add new rules.

Select a sound ID using the expanding list at

the left of this dialog. e more specic your

selection, the more targeted the preferred

sound rule will be. For example, if you select

Strings, all instruments whose sound IDs

begin with “strings” will be allocated to the

designated device. However, if you select

Strings > Violin, only instruments whose

sound IDs begin with “strings.violin” will be

allocated to the designated device.

Once you’ve made your selection, use the drop-down menu at the right to select the

device you want to use for this sound, and click Add to apply the rule. Be sure to save

the playback conguration after adding or editing rules so that the changes are stored.
