4. Using the Sound Set
4.1 Selecting the Sound Set
To use the sound set, a new playback conguration needs to be created so Sibelius 
knows which plugin(s)/device(s) and sound set(s) to use for playback. To create a new 
playback conguration, open the Playback Devices dialog from Play > Playback De-
vices in Sibelius’s menu (Sibelius 5 and Sibelius 6) or by clicking the dialog launcher 
button in the Play > Setup group in the ribbon (Sibelius 7).
At the top of this dialog Sibelius displays the name of the currently active playback 
conguration, with buttons for several dierent actions including Save, New…,  
Rename…, and Delete. Click New…, enter a name for the playback conguration, 
and then click OK to create it.
When you create a conguration, Sibelius uses the settings of the current congura-
tion to create the default state of the new one. Select each plugin or device listed in the 
Active Devices pane that is not required and click the << Deactivate button to remove 
it from the conguration.
Once the unneeded plugins have been 
removed, select the appropriate device 
from the Available Devices pane and click 
the Activate >> button to add it to the 
conguration. In the Active Devices pane, use the drop-down menu in the Sound Set 
column to select the Kurzweil PC88 sound set. Click the Save button at the top of the 
Playback Devices dialog to save your changes, and close the Playback Devices dialog.
