I'm doing it with Sibelius 4 (currently using Maple rather than MIDI Yoke due to Vista installation issues, but it works the same way).

This was my first foray into VST instruments, but it worked well - so perhaps it will help you.

I downloaded the excellent sfz sample player - http://www.rgcaudio.com/sfz.htm - and a piano soundfont - http://www.pianosounds.com/freesoundfont.htm.

sfz has its own mini-host, which I used initially. I loaded the soundfont, configured MIDI input to use one of my virtual MIDI loopback devices, then set Sibelius to play to the corresponding output. It worked fine - and that Piano sounds far better than the one in Kontact Silver in my opinion.

Next, I used VSTHost - which is slightly more complicated than the mini-host but has the advantage that it can host other instruments too!

This worked with sfz and the (also free!) Crystal Synth available here: http://www.greenoak.com/crystal/

It's amazing how much is available for free... :)

I hope that helps you, or maybe someone else (since it's two years since your post)!

David

Hello Gius well i think that Sibelius is a musical technology software for reviewing,modifying.Sibelius is available for both Windows and Mac.Sibelius 5 can be managed with a key pad for allows customers to weed out their musical technology concepts.
Thanks!!
