Ok, Richard ... thank you I'll check out your piece and see. I'll
keep you posted.
Thanks again,
Dean

You are, of course, correct. The reference is included in the help
menu.
My Finale is 2005 so I have no direct experience with Finale and
GPO but I can say that my Sibelius sounds *much* better than what I
used to get from MIDI alone or from the, now outdated, small sample
library (Kontakt Silver) that was included beginning with Sib 3.
If you want to here what GPO could do, even in Sib 4, go to my
website, http://rgsmithmusic.com, and play the MP3 of my band
piece "Lament and Exhultation." It is a direct recording of
Sibelius playing a GPO sound file.
I think you can download the 5.1 upgrade, delete your 5.0, install
the 5.1 and use your present install code for 5.1 but please check
with Sib's tech support before doing that. 5.1 fixed many things
from 5.0 and you really should get it (it's free).

Hi Richard ... thank you for the response. Well, the Reference
"book" is built into Sib as a menu item, unless you mean something
different. If you do, then, yes, I would love the PDF. I haven't
downloaded 5.1 yet, because I'm still awaiting my Registration #
from Sibelius. I think I would have to be fully registered to do
the download. Who knows, maybe working on the new version will
solve the problems. Let me get this straight ... when you play the
Sib essential sounds through your computer's speaker system, the
sound quality is just as good as when you are playing your files
through fin/GPO/NI/AU mode, as opposed to the basically soft synth
sounds I am getting on Sib 5 ... right? And if so, what in the
world is going on with my situation?
Thanks again,
Dean

Do you have the reference book? If not, e-mail me and I will send
you a .PDF version of it. There are almost 100 pages about the
playback and sound. In Sib 4 we had a much simpler sound system.
I have the Sibelius GPO (the entire GPO library optimized for
Sib) that did a wonderful job in Sib 4. It was an add on for Sib.
Now, in 5.1 (have you downloaded the update?), my GPO has been
converted to stand alone GPO (no extra fee) and all works well
but it is a bit more complicated than before.
But if a MIDI idiot like me can get it, anyone can. :)

Yeah, I've been going though it over and over with Daniel and
another Sib man, so far, everything seems to be installed and in
the correct folders. The path from the Kontakt 2 Library to the
needed files in the Ap Folder seems to be in place ... so far,
at least, the answer is not forthcoming. The Sib guys are
really working hard to try and solve it.
Thanks,
Dean

Yeah, I'm using Kontkt 2, the right hand panel in the set up
window, at Daniel's suggestion, reads kontakt 2 VST, with the
sound sets reading Sib essential sounds. This is the only
combination, that I've found, at least, that the program will
allow to make any playback possible. His original suggestion
was to have that panel read,"Kontakt 2 VST, with GPO selected
as the sound set. All that did was to constantly bring up the
message, when I tried to play anything back or enter a note,
"Kontakt 2 file can not be found. Please check to see it was
loaded correctly into the Library." Then, when the OK radio
button is pushed (the only otion), the message just keeps
reappearing, causing me to force quit the AP. Nope, as it is,
it sounds just like the old fin softsynth stuff. So, I dunno.
I certainly appreciate your time in responding to this. Do
you have the full GPO on your computer, or just the fin package?
Thanks,
Dean

I do not have the full GPO, but in addition to the FinaleGPO
stuff, I have the SibeliusGPO stuff (which is part of the
Sibelius Sounds Essentials stuff). Are you sure that it all
got installed when you installed Sibelius?
