Rosetree, perhaps you could contact the performer for that video clip of the S910 and he could give you the details? (I've heard a lot of real strings when I played the trombone in the symphonic orchestra of a university, so I guess I know what real string sections sound like). That's my point of view about Roland Integra strings. What I am not yet happy about is dynamics: there should be more differentiation between piano and forte, that was not due to my playing, but the voices should react more clearly to soft playing. Sustain pedal doesn't work for string sections, too many tones loudly sustained. The demanding thing playing this is to play a good legato without using a sustain pedal. IMO only some specific Kronos or Motif XF external string libraries cam beat this. The Kronos preset strings sound very artificial, too. A Tyros can only compete with its small strings (quartet of solo voices), the "live strings" etc.are much more artificial. the new string articulations) are controlled in a way that is fundamentally incompatible with the old GPO4-based parts of GPO5.There are very, very few string samples that might be superior to this larger Integra string section. Trying to make a comprehensive GPO5 sound set for Sibelius could be an "interesting" challenge, since the major new features of GPO5 (e.g. GPO5 already has everything you need to use it with Finale, so I don't predict MakeMusic will be converting to Sibelius soundsets any time soon.

He seems to be having more success at standards-creation second time around with SMUFL for music fonts - at least among the open-source software creators. The number of other software vendors who took it up is apparently zero.
IIRC Daniel was proposing it as an industry standard. But if you compare the Sibelius solution with Finale, the Sibelius version looks to me like an over-complicated "non-solution". to a multitude of sound libraries' different MIDI control sequences, keyswitches, etc. > So you consider the technique for mapping Sibelius' internal encodings of dynamics, expressions, playing techniques, etc. Posted by Richard Oscar Burdick - 10 Apr 05:44AM Sib 7.5, GPO4, NotePerformer, lots of EWQL stuff There are certainly a large number of possible solutions, but I don't see how any of them could be simple. You can perhaps design a less complicated solution that works across all the various sound libraries supported by Sibelius? So you consider the technique for mapping Sibelius' internal encodings of dynamics, expressions, playing techniques, etc. > Let's hope Steinberg stop him reinventing any similarly over-complicated non-solutions to non-problems!
> Apart from Daniel Spreadbury who invented them, did anybody in Sibelius/Avid ever **really** understand how Sibelius soundsets were supposed to work?
