Re: [Finale] no sound
Duh! I should have said. It's finale mac 2012. All my other finale files play, but many of those were created in Fin mac 2010. I imported them into 2012 and they play just fine. Only this new one that I created from the template will not play. I finally did get it to play--sort of. But unless I pump up the basic volume to ridiculously high number, I can barely hear it. Very puzzling, as all those old files play beautifully. Thanks for taking time to answer. Linda ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
[Finale] no sound
I just made a new file for String Quartet, and began writing... but there is no sound. I have explored HELP and looked for something to turn on, but can;t find any way to make it play back. I have tried setting playback in various places, but nothing is working. All my other finale files play back just fine. And I only use playback to proof and listen for mistakes, not to do anything fancy in the way of performance. I just want to use the usual internal instruments and hear the notes. Where do I go to make this file play> Thanks, Linda ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale

It works! Apparently the channels settings weren't compatible. We changed Send MIDI Values from "Only Channel 1" to "All MIDI channels", and it works. Such a relief.

Patricia Spedden -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kenneth Kuhlmann Sent: Saturday, January 29, 2005 9:21 PM To: finale@shsu.edu Subject: Re: [Finale] No Sound Patricia, My immediate reaction to your problem description is that the MIDI setup of the Proformance module at college differs from the setup on the tone generator which you use at home in some way related to either MIDI channel numbers or program numbers. Simply put, the equipment at home responds to the note on / off messages etc on the MIDI channels generated by Finale playback whereas the Proformance module at college ignores messages on the same channel(s). I assume that the Finale setup remains the same in each situation. You do not give enough detail about equipmet connections and setups to enable a good diagnosis and I am not familiar with any of the equipment you might be using other than Finale, but I would look at the following matters to ensure that both tone generators are setup compatibly: 1)Does the Proformance respond to the program numbers generated by Finale playback? I understand it is limited to 16 piano sounds; what program numbers does it respond to? I.e. is the instrument assignment (=program number assignment) in your Finale file compatible with the Proformance's capabilites? Therefore make sure that the MIDI program numbers generated by Finale are suitable. 2)Make sure that Finale Playback is generating messages on MIDI channels accessible by the Proformance module. Because it is a piano module, I assume that it is necessary for Finale to generate messages on a single channel only. If Finale is generating on several channels then the situation can be very problematical. Your home equipment might be set up to respond on all channels generated in your Finale setup, whereas the Proformance may not respond to the same channels. 3)So, is the Proformance responding to the to the same MIDI channels as your home sound module? Check the MIDI mode in which each generator is operating, considering in particular Mode 1 ("Omni Mode" = Omni On/Poly) vs Mode 3 ("Poly Mode" = Omni Off/Poly). In a studio situation with other synthesizers available, it is quite likely that a module like the Proformance would be setup to operate in Poly Mode; whereas a single synthesizer at home might default to Omni Mode for convenience. 4)If the Proformance is in Poly Mode and set to channel X, make sure that Finale playback generates on channel X also. If your home generator is also in Poly Mode you will need to change its channel number to X to match, but you need not change it if it is in Omni Mode. 5)If the Proformance is in Omni Mode and the program numbers are compatible then I can only suggest that the Proformance is not receiving any note messages and you should look at what might be happening at other points on the signal path between your laptop and the Proformance module.

RE: [Finale] No Sound
Thank you so much for your speedy response. When I go to the college on Monday (it's some distance away), I'll check out every one of your suggestions. Thus far, It's been such a waste of time & very frustrating. Hopefully, one of your suggestions will solve this.

[Finale] No Sound
I teach at a college where we have purchased a number of Fastlane MIDI interfaces. They are used mainly with Macs. However, I have WinXP laptop that I'm trying to use at the college for a lengthy, urgent project with the following equipment: * Fastlane interface * Fatar Studio 90 master controller with no internal sounds * Proformance/1 16-bit piano module * Amplified speakers * Finale 2005 This all works fine at home with a Roland MPU64 USB interface which I've updated with an XP driver. I'd prefer to be able to use the MOTU with Finale at the college (so I don't have to disconnect everything daily), but can get no sound through the Proformance module using the MOTU. The MOTU in/out lights come on appropriately, but there's no sound. We have tried every possible configuration with no luck. Could anyone tell us how to make this work as soon as possible?
