Apply Playback Template dialog

The Apply Playback Template dialog allows you to change the playback template applied to the current project and to import/export playback templates. It also allows you to access the Edit Playback Template dialog.

  • You can open the Apply Playback Template dialog in Play mode by choosing Play > Playback Template.

The Apply Playback Template dialog shows all the playback templates available on your computer in a table. Dorico SE provides the following factory default playback templates:

  • HSSE (Elements): Intended for use with HALion Sonic SE.

  • HSSE+HSO (Pro): Intended for use with both HALion Sonic SE and HALion Symphonic Orchestra.

  • Silence: Prevents Dorico SE from loading sounds.

Tip

  • Choosing the Silence template makes Dorico SE project files significantly smaller, for example, if you want to send them electronically.

  • We recommend that you only use the HSSE+HSO (Pro) playback template if you own a separate HALion Symphonic Orchestra license, as Dorico SE only includes HALion Sonic SE.
