In this scenario, every possible rank in your arrangement gets a dedicated stave.

Think of it like one would with a Tracking DAW and manage it that way: Keep different flows or separate projects for ‘playback’ vs ‘printing’ purposes. It’s not terribly difficult to copy/paste from existing GCPO Organ patches and build something new that would merge several ranks into a single instrument, and have each rank’s volume controlled by a unique CC.ĭ. Learn enough about SFZ opcodes to tweak out your own Organ profiles that could be swapped about using the key-switches and/or CC events that Dorico supports in his expressionmaps/techniques system. In short, it’s a swiss army knife for transforming MIDI/Audio in real time, and merging multiple plugins into a single seamless instrument.Ĭ. Bidule would also grant the ability to do complex keyboard splits, and things of that nature. If you only want CC1 to crescendo the flute rank for a given set of bars, and leave all the others where they are). Bidule could also allow you to do a bit of fancy expressive controller transformation on the fly (I.E. (Side-note, I’d expect that Dorico will learn to channel bounce from the expression maps in future versions, so a third party app like Bidule will no longer be needed at that point). If you have something like Bidule, you could manage a pretty complex Organ from a single stave in Dorico.

Use something like Bidule (The VST Plugin version), which would allow you to bounce around between stop configurations (again using multiple instances of ARIA, but hosted in Bidule). Any rank that requires independent dynamic pedaling from the rest of the organ will also need his own stave.ī. Since the Classic Organs library doesn’t come with a good ‘console’ to emulate organ stop changes, or to independently control dynamic pedaling for ‘each rank’, and since Dorico cannot yet ‘channel/instance bounce’ from the same stave, then you’ll need to use many staves, and possibly many instances of ARIA to manage your stop changes. Use lots of staves in your score, and many instances of ARIA. CuBase Pro) however, at this time you’ll probably find it immediately lacking in combination with Dorico UNLESS you:Ī. Garritan’s Pipe Organ library is well worth the price for a ‘tracking style’ DAW (I.E. Thank you again for that and all your suggestions.Dorcio isn’t quite ready yet to deal with managing a complex organ that’s built like this Garritan Library from a single grand staff (possibly with a third bass pedal line and other temporary staves, etc.). Perhaps Hauptwerk is worth investigating, though.

That way, you can indeed add to your registration (by copying the music into a second set of staves) or eg pick out part of the tune with a solo stop on a separate staff.Īs I say, though, the score looks hilarious, and I suppose if the sound is all I'm after I'd probably be better off using a sequencing program. It looks as though my clumsy solution of building up combinations in Aria Player by assigning several GCPO stops to the same MIDI channel and then assigning each channel to a different instrument in Sibelius is the simplest way to achieve playback, even if the score does look as though you have access to several organs at once! Then you simply write for the appropriate organ as the equivalent of pressing a thumb piston (or using a different manual) in real life.

Thank you, gentlemen, for your fascinating and most helpful replies and links. Posted by Jonathan H L Copus - 04 Oct 08:48PM Sibelius 7.5, Sibelius Sounds 7.1.2, Photoscore Ult., GPO4 If you have an organ sound set which includes stop combinations you could change to one of those if you can find out how they are implemented. Sibelius expects an instrument per staff essentially so you can change instruments (i.e., stops) as you go along but you can't have three or four different ones at one time as you would on an organ staff when adding to a registration. Even then, doing something as simple as adding a stop to the current registration is a study in frustration. Skinner sound set and the special house style that goes with it in Sibelius Sounds. You can make it look like organ music but that's about it unless you use the special It is entirely and utterly more trouble than it's worth. In general trying to accurately control organ music and handle stop changes so playback is correct is a lost cause in Sibelius no matter whose organ sounds you use.
