How to trigger articulations with the Sound Set

This sound set works with Studio Dimension Brass I+II.

The SY Dimension Brass sound set works with all factory presets. The "All players" presets contain different player configurations in different parent slots. In order to trigger the right one, please don't forget to always state with the following Technique Text commands which players are playing a sequence:

• "a4" or "tutti": Played by 4 players in unison
• "a2": Played by player 1 and 2 in unison
• "3.+4.": Played by player 3 and 4 in unison
• "1.": Played by player 1
• "2.": Played by player 2
• "3.": Played by player 3
• "4.": Played by player 4

Sibelius doesn't offer the possibility to play different voices of one staff on different MIDI channels. That's why it's not possible to have voice 1 of a staff played by Player 1 and voice 2 of a staff played by Player 2. So for detailed work it is recommended to have every player on a separate staff and MIDI channel.

Please notice that Bass Trombone and Tuba of the Low Brass group will sound one octave lower than notated. If you want to notate these instruments on separate staves, you can load the corresponding "loco" presets in order to have them sound "loco" (not transposed).

Velocity XFade is disabled by default. It can be enabled for smaller arrangements, if the content is located on an SSD or for exporting audio.

Most of the techniques written for the Special Edition and the Special Edition PLUS also apply to the SY Dimension Brass sound set. Here are the additional articulations.

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

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

There are two ways to trigger these slots:

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

Create the Technique Text command "glissando".

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

Create the Technique Text command "flutter tongue" or "frullato" or use one of the tremolo symbols with 3, 4 or 5 beams across the stem from the Sibelius keypad.

There are two ways to trigger this patch:

1. Use the keypad's staccato mark and add the Technique Text command "rep".
2. Use the keypad's staccatissimo mark.

Create the Technique Text commands "portato" and "rep". (Only available with Vienna Symphonic Library House Style loaded.)

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

It's possible to use additional articulations by adding the desired patch(es) to one of the free custom slots. To switch to these slots from your Sibelius score, use one of the following Technique Text commands: "custom" or "custom1" for the first custom slot, "custom2" for the second custom slot, "custom3" for the third custom slot, and so on.
