How use soundfont on mac with sibelius?

[andreasvanharen]

Hi!
I was wondering how to use sound fonts in combination with Sibelius on a mac. I read on the web about using the quick time preferences for this to route the sound fonts, but for this there should be a tab in the quick time program, called Music, and there isn't in the 7.1 version. Anyone know how to use sound fonts on mac with Sibelius 4?

There is only 1 way I can think of doing this. Get a soundfont host and use MidiYoke to route the soundfonts to Sibelius. I'm not 100% sure this will work on a mac (I use windows) but its worth a shot.

I have got VSTs to run with Sibelius before using MidiYoke so I'm asuming the same principle applies for soundfonts.

Hope this helps

Thanks! I discovered just now how to do it, altough I can only use 1 fonts at a time. But in combination with another device, this is ok.

Isn’t it possible to route things through the IAC driver? (Applications->Utilities->Audio-Midi-Setup)

I remember that on Mac OS 9, the launching sequence of the programs were vital. The MIDI slaves first, then the Sequencing app (Finale), as Finale could always sniff what was already open

Then the rest was a matter of routing.

There is always the freeware jackosx that might do something for you.
