VST instrument problems in Sibelius 5 on Windows: The instruments do not show, the configuration is not saved, etc.
Several playback configuration problems can happen in Sibelius 5, mostly due to changes in the plugins folder or MIDI device list. This can cause issues such as:
– Devices or plugins do not show up.
– Playback configurations cannot be saved or loaded.
– You cannot create a new playback configuration.
To fix this, deleting the playback configuration files and forcing Sibelius to recreate them usually fixes the problem. These files are located….
* In Windows Vista: C: > Users > (your user name) > AppData > Roaming > Sibelius Software > Sibelius 5. Delete the Playback Configurations folder and the PlaybackConfig.xml file.
* In Windows XP: C: > Documents and Settings > (your user name) > Application Data > Sibelius Software > Sibelius 5. Delete the Playback Configurations folder and the PlaybackConfig.xml file.
