My first tutorial video… on how to beat this little game. I kinda like how my enthusiasm wears down after seventy levels…

EastWest’s Symphonic Choirs Wordbuilder

admin — Sun, 17 Feb 2008 06:14:05 +0000

Wordbuilder represents a pretty complex MIDI pre-processor. Sure, the samples are good, but it’s what it does with them that count. Wordbuilder intelligently puts together all those oohs and aahs and syllables into words. Very cool. Here are two documents that explain when and how you should use Wordbuilder and how to hook it up to Finale (or to Sibelius). These documents were written from an OS X perspective, but some of the concepts and setups apply to Windows as well.

Sibelius and MIDI

Below is a document I created for how to use the Sibelius music notation software to play stand alone MIDI devices, such as Reason, Kontakt, or even external synthesizers and samplers. I find it much easier to work with than Finale because Sibelius doesn’t try to re-invent the wheel for this purpose.
