The SoftSynth only support 16 channels. The speed of the SoftSynth is 
dependent of the computer speed, but it should be fast enough for real-
time playback (unless you have a really slow computer).

Very nice.  It seems like a great new feature, and quite timely for a 
project I'm working on.

Two questions:

1) Do the crescendos happen automatically, just by entering the hairpin, or 
do you have to do something else to make the crescendos active in the playback?

2) (This is a basic MIDI question, not specifically related to 2004).  I 
have an external sound engine (E-Mu) that I normally use.  It works great 
-- instant response -- but only supports 16 channels.  What are the options 
if I want to use 32 channels, for example?  Will this new SoundFont stuff 
support that?  Is that software synthesis fast enough so that you can use 
this during HyperScribe?

Thanks,
Craig

[Finale] More Finale 2004 info

Hello!

I noticed that the MakeMusic! marketing material for Finale 2004 only 
seem to compare the SoftSynth output with normal MIDI output. No 
example how a printed page would sound with human playback. So I 
created such an example, which is now linked from my review:
http://www.finaletips.nu/

For those who have already read the review, here's a direct link:
