[Finale] 2006b troubles with GPO, smart music soft synth
Hi all, since Finale 2006b seems to support VST instruments, I started to give them a try. I copied the GPO big band to Finale's VST folder, and it gets recogniced. However, to use it, I have to load the sounds into GPO. Does that really mean I have to check first in the instrument list which sounds are used on which channels and load the GPO sounds accordingly, or is there a somewhat more modern and easier way? At least, it works and I have better sounds than ever in Finale... Playing around I got a new problem. I switched the out of the smart music soft synth to my hammerfall DSP and my active monitors instead using the soundblaster audigy 2 and computer speakers. However, today I wanted to try more, but got no sound at all. The settings seem to be stuck to outputs 3/4 of my hammerfall DSP, volume is zero, and whatever I try, I don't seem to be able to change the settings. Hitting ok and opening the dialogue box again brings just the same results. Normally I don't give much thought on the sounds, since I use Finale primarily for notation - but now it won't work the way it did, I have to... Any hints?

It's a _very_ bad idea to move JABB components after they have been installed. However, to use it, I have to load the sounds into GPO. Does that really mean I have to check first in the instrument list which sounds are used on which channels and load the GPO sounds accordingly, or is there a somewhat more modern and easier way? Garritan JABB should show up as a choice in Finale's Setup Wizard. If it doesn't, reinstall JABB. - Darcy - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://secretsociety.typepad.com Brooklyn, NY ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale

shows up all right, but I worked with an older file (Finale 2004, I guess). How about an easy way to get older files to use Garritan? Thanks for the help!

Re: [Finale] 2006b troubles with GPO, smart music soft synth
I opened another old file and got it to use the GPO sounds all right after determinating which channels were used and loading the sounds required. However - where can I set the audio output. Since the sounds are so much better I'd like to use my professional sound card and my active monitors. While I can set this for the smart sound (even if I get a lot of latency on the card I have set to 3 ms latency which works fine for other software) (hammerfall DSP), I cannot find the option in the GPO settings...

Hi Kurt, 1) Create a blank score template with the Setup Wizard Fin2006, open your Fin2004 document in Fin2006, and copy the entries into your template. (Obviously, you will lose all your page formatting, so this would be a playback-only file.) or 2) Read my tutorial GPOHP Tutorial Supplement in the User Manual folder. It's for GPO, not JABB, but the principles are the same. - Darcy - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://secretsociety.typepad.com Brooklyn, NY On 17 Dec 2005, at 4:51 PM, Kurt Gnos wrote: shows up all right, but I worked with an older file (Finale 2004, I guess).

You'll have to ask a WIndows user about that. On Mac, AU/VST output defaults to system sound output, which you can set in the Sound Control Panel. - Darcy - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://secretsociety.typepad.com Brooklyn, NY On 17 Dec 2005, at 5:08 PM, Kurt Gnos wrote: I opened another old file and got it to use the GPO sounds all right after determinating which channels were used and loading the sounds required.

If Mac, Finale outputs to CA driver, which you need to define in the System Pref Pane. If your default sound is output to RME, that's where you hear the sound from. If Windows, MIDI Setup - Settings - Output Source. -- - Hiro Hiroaki Honshuku, A-NO-NE Music, Boston, MA http://a-no-ne.com http://anonemusic.com ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
