Bass Drums Playback as rim clicks on default

[Branson.spencer]

I have tried everything and looked everywhere to have my playback of virtual drumlins 2.5.5 with Sibelius 7.5 running smoothly. However, When I playback my music for Drum Corp Battery the Bass Drums playback as rim clicks instead of actual hits on the head. I have a template for virtual drumline and i don't know how to change it. When I go to the mixer and select the settings for kontakt 5 it says [0-32] Rims in the MW value 01 slot.

Can I assume you have regular notehead 0 (zero) in the score for the hits? Sounds like there may be a MIDI message of some sort on the staff somewhere.

Please attach a screen shot of your Playback Configuration, how you're inputting the notes into the score, etc.

And I'm not sure why/how you're in the Mixer making/tweaking Kontakt Player settings.

I was trying whatever i could to fix it on my own, and i thought i figured it out. The notepad is the regular zero notepad, but it plays back as a rim click.

Please attach a screen shot of your Playback Configuration.

Do you have any hidden MIDI messages in there?

Well, there's at least one problem. You don't have the correct sound set assigned to your instance of Kontakt Player.

Please read/review the instructions in the Readme on pages:

6 - Install Template Sound Set
7 - Playback Configuration


Let me know if you have any additional questions.

[Branson.spencer]

I changed a few things and i got to the point of where I had to make a Sounds folder in the Sibelius 7 folder. I also have a Sibelius 7.5 folder, and i don't know what to do now.

Tip: Use command+shift+4 to get a customizable-sized screen grab. (And please go ahead and attach images instead of link to them.)

The second image does not look correct, there are other folders/files in the User's folder.

What is the exact path you're placing the sound set? Should match this:
/Users/yourusername/Library/Application Support/Avid/Sibelius 7.5/Sounds

I attached a screen shot of mine.

[Branson.spencer]

This is what shows up when I follow that path.

[Hugh Smith]

Good. Now create the "Sounds" folder and place the Template sound set in it.

Branson, please attach screen shots.

[Branson.spencer]

Ok i have placed the template in the sounds folder. What do I do next to adjust playback

[Branson.spencer]

This is the playback configuration, but it's still playing back as rim clicks.

[Hugh Smith]

Configuration now looks good.

1) Do the TriggerTest files playback correctly? See Appendix B of the Readme for more.

2) Exactly which Bass Drum instrument are you using? Is it from the Template?

[Branson.spencer]

The Trigger Test did Perfect. Yes, I am using the template. These are the Bass lines I'm using in this configuration.
