Hello,
I’m not sure what I’m missing, but I get no sound.
I’m trying to use the Kontakt 5 library’s orchestral snare drum play in Dorico 2.2 (MacOS 10.14.3).
SETUP>Add Solo Player> I choose “snare drum.”
PLAY>Add VST Instrument. Load “Kontakt 5 16out”. Select “Snare Drums” from Kontakt Factory Library. Sound is coming out on the virtual keyboard when I click the keys. C1 gives me the natural snare sound. [NOTE: melodic instruments load and play back correctly]
Play Menu>Percussion Maps. I create a percussion map entitled “Kontakt Snare.” At MIDI note 24 (C1), I name it “Snare Natural.” I choose “Snare Drum” from the instrument list. I leave the key switch blank. I select “Natural” under Techniques.
PLAY>Under the VST instrument list, I click the cog and assign newly created “Kontakt Snare” to the Percussion map list. I check that the Snare Drum on the left side is connected to the correct VST instrument.
WRITE>When I put in a snare drum note on the single line, there is no sound.
SETUP>Just checking, I click “Edit Percussion Playing Techniques” and the regular note is “Natural.”
PLAY>Play menu>percussion maps. I change the setting to Single Instrument. No change.
I have no idea what I’m missing. If anyone has any steps I have missed, let me know. I’m at my wit’s end just to get a snare drum sound.
Thanks in advance.
