How to trigger articulations with the Sound Sets "VE SY Choirs", "VE SYzd Voices" and "VE Choir"

The "VE SY Choirs" sound set works with the Synchron Player libraries "Vienna Boys Choir" and "Basso Profondo Choir". It's recommended to use the factory presets from the "01 VelXF sus" folder.

The "VE SYzd Voices" sound set works with the Synchron Player libraries "Studio Vienna Choir", "Studio Solo Voices", "Studio Soprano Choir" and "Studio Whistler". It's recommended to use the factory presets from the "01 VelXF sus" folder.

The "VE Choir" sound set works with the Instrument collections Vienna Choir and Solo Voices, as well as the Soprano Choir and Vienna Whistler Single instruments.

Some of the techniques written for the Special Edition also apply to the Choir sound set. Here are the additional articulations. Please note that not all articulations are included in all libraries.

Create the Technique Text command "vib" or "vibrato". To switch back to non-vibrato, use one of the following Technique Text commands: "ord.", "natural", "normal","senza vibrato"or "non vibrato".

The longer notes for the Solo Voices are always sung with vibrato.

The Vienna Whistler triggers the vibrato articulations by default. For triggering non vibrato samples, use one of the following Technique Text commands: "senza vibrato" or "non vibrato".

Legato and vibrato can also be combined.

These patches work well for fast phrases. They can be triggered with the Technique Text command "fast". (Only available with Vienna Symphonic Library House Style loaded.)

Performance trills and vibrato can also be combined.

Create the Technique Text command "glissando". To switch back to normal playing, use one of the following Technique Text commands: "ord.", "natural" or "normal".

Create the Technique Text command "cluster". (Only available with Vienna Symphonic Library House Style loaded.)

Create the Technique Text command "creepy". (Only available with Vienna Symphonic Library House Style loaded.)

Create one of the following symbols: Vertical line or Comma. (Only available with Vienna Symphonic Library House Style loaded.)

(cells A9 to A11): It’s possible to use additional patches, that are not included in the VI presets for Sibelius by default. Just add the desired patch(es) to one of these three cells. To switch to these cells from your Sibelius score, use one of the following Technique Text commands: "custom" or "custom1" for cell A9, "custom2" for cell A10 and "custom3" for cell A11. (Only available with Vienna Symphonic Library House Style loaded.)

If you have loaded one of the AA+UU VI presets, you can switch between these articulations. By default the "AA" articulations are triggered. To switch to "UU" create the Technique Text command "oo". To switch back to "AA" use "ah" or "ord."

Create the Technique Text command "portato".

In addition to the"portato"command, create the Technique Text command "short".

In addition to the"portato"command, create the Technique Text command "long".

In addition to the "portato" command, create the Technique Text command "espressivo".

There are two ways to trigger these patches:

1. Use the keypad’s marcato mark.
2. Create the Technique Text command "marcato".

Create the Technique Text command "portamento".

Also see page 36.

In addition to the "portamento" command, create the Technique Text command "slow".

Create the Technique Text command "rep".

In addition to the"portato"command, create the Technique Text command "rep".

Create the Technique Text command "rep" and put staccato marks on the notes.

Create a trill line from the Lines menu.

Use the scoop symbol from the Jazz articulations menu.

Some articulations (sustain, marcato, legato, portamento, performance trills) offer an alternative release in form of a fall. These release samples can be triggered by adding a fall symbol from the Jazz articulations menu to the note. In addition the Live duration of the note has to be shortened with the Sibelius Inspector by at least 1 tick.
