I have a question about MIDI with FinaleMac 25/OS 10.13.5.
I am working on a transposed score that includes trumpets in Bb and horn in F.
When I display the score in concert pitch the notes I enter return a single
note sound, but if I display my score in transposed pitch (score showing
different key signatures) Finale and my MIDI plays 2 notes at a time that are a
minor second apart. Most annoying! I prefer to have Finale handle the
transposition, so want to use Speedy to enter the notes in transposed
pitch….one pitch only.
Have I missed something in my MIDI setup or is this something that can’t be
fixed? I used SCORE MANAGER to create my score. My previous version of Finale
was Finale 2K11 and it did not behave this way.
Thanks for any advice that my colleagues on the List are able to provide.
That is truly mystifying! If anything, the notes should be either a
whole step apart (Bb trumpets) or a fifth apart (horn in F). But to
have all your sounds be a half-step apart makes no sense at all.
Where are the sounds coming from? your computer or from your midi
device? If from your midi device, pull out the manual and see if there
is a setting for "local off." That would mean that keypresses on the
device would not generate their own sound in addition to whatever
midi-out data Finale is sending to it.
Under the MIDI/Audio menu in Finale is a listing for Device Setup -- if
you click on that a submenu opens up which has a "Midi Thru" option
which has a checkmark next to it when it's enabled. What happens if you
uncheck that?
Good luck in finding the problem -- please let us know how you resolve
the issue.
