![]() You can then take care of the rythmic and expressive subtleties in Reaper, when you finally export the midi from Sibelius and and work in our DAW with much better resources.ĮDIT : After a great deal of work with this workflow, I´ve come to the conclusion that it´s better to have a dedicated track (or various tracks, if you use more than 16 channels in Sibelius) to receive MIDI from Sibelius and send the MIDI stream from that track to the other ones with the virtual instruments. Go to Play - Interpretation - Performance - Rewire and check "Tempo track" - this is very important!! In Play - Interpretation - Performance - Style, I also set "Espressivo" and "Rubato" to Meccanico and "Rythmic feel" to Straight. If you did it as we intended, you should see something like this : The mouse pointer behaves strangely in Sibelius´s mixer sometimes you have to click outside of it to be able to do this properly. Reapeat this for the second piano strip – or, in any case, for each instrument strip that you have. ![]() In the lowest box, choose the name of your instrument. In the middle box, click and choose the LoopBe port that you configured. You´ll see three rectangles or boxes with green characters in each mixer strip (Our piano has two strips, of course, one for each stave). Expand it with the bar icon at the left : Take a look at the image, you´ll see something like this :Ħ) Close the Playback Device window and save what you just did. Type the name of the instrument there (in this case, "piano") and click on "Apply". Click on the desired channel, and go to "Sound ID" on the botton left of the window. I created only one, just for the piano, and named it accordingly. you´ll give a name Make sure that the Sound set option is set to none, and define the number of midi channels that you want to use with the "No Channels" option. If it´s not already selected, choose the port you have just added. You´ll see it appears in the "Active devices" section, just like this :ĥ) Now, go to "Manual Sound Sets". Double click in the one you wish to use – in my case it´s "01. In "Available devices", you´ll see the ports listed. ![]() I called it "Piano", because I´m explaining this with the excellent Piano One in Reaper as my instrument. Once there, you have to create a "Configuration", that is, a setup for the playback of your score. Here is the image, for the newbies :Ĭlick in the arrow and you´ll enter in the Playback Devices window : In the lowest portion of the ribbon, you´ll see "Setup" with a little arrow. These instructions are meant to send midi only from Sibelius to Reaper - the most useful way, IMHO -.Ĥ) When you have all the instruments laid out in the score, click in the "Play" tab. Right there, disable media buffering and anticipative FX, since this track will be solely dedicated to sync both programs.Ģ) First of all, make sure that when the transport bar is visible, you see the Rewire icon in it, just like this :ģ) To avoid any possibility of an infinite loop, go to File – Preferences and disable your active ports as input devices (unticking the boxes, of course). Right click on the track and go to "Track performance options". In all other respects, it is used just the same as I describe in this instructions.Įxcuse me if I post some obvious images and instructions, but I´d like to address this to a wide range of users, including the newbies.ġ)Create a track, arm it for recording (this is really important to have both apps in sync) and choose "ReWire : Sibelius" in the FX Chain. It doesn´t seem to have a shortcut detection option, but I don´t think it needs it (as I said above, I always have it disabled in LoopBe, anyway). By right-clicking on its icon in the OS taskbar you can define if you want it to autostart when you turn on the machine or run it every time you´ll use it. What will also be appealing to many is that its free! (I´ll donate for sure after testing it thouroughly) You simply install it and the first time you run it you can create the ports you need with the "+" or "-" buttons in the bottom of its window. At least with LoopBe30, I strongly suggest to disable the "Shortcut detection" option, because it creates a lot of troubles.ĮDIT : I´ve been using loopMIDI as a virtual port instead of LoopBe and up until now I can confirm that it performs very nicely and it´s very easy to use. You need LoopBe30 installed for this (or LoopBe1, if that´s enough for your needs), by the way. ![]() These instructions are based on Sibelius 7. I hope it will be clear enough, since english is not my native tongue. I owed this since my very first post, so I´ll put here some instructions regarding the rewire between Reaper as master and Sibelius as slave – that is, to have a wonderful playback mixer for Sibelius´scoring. ![]()
