Sibelius Sounds Essentials update for Sibelius 5.2
Changes in Sibelius Sounds Essentials for Sibelius 5.2
We have updated Sibelius Sounds Essentials to fix some minor problems with some of the included sounds (e.g. a looping problem in the Recorder instrument, and a small imperfection in the Guarneri solo violin instrument), and to make it possible for all of the sustaining instrument sounds (from the M-Audio General MIDI set, Sibelius Sounds Rock and Pop, Sibelius Gold) to play continuous crescendos and diminuendos automatically.
