Before you can hear your music played back, the project must have sounds loaded. Dorico uses playback templates to load all the required sounds for the instruments in your project.
Prerequisite
You have downloaded and installed the sounds provided with your Dorico version. You do not have to install them to run Dorico, but because they come with playback templates and expression maps set up, they are often the simplest way to hear your music played back.
Procedure
Result
The selected playback template is applied to the project. If it was already applied, it is re-applied, resetting the playback template back to its defaults.
In the VST and MIDI panel on the left of the window, a plug-in instance is loaded with sounds for the piano.
