Re: [Finale] Finale GPO instrument ranges
Hi -- Thanks. Now I'll be curious to hear if a reduction of 1/6 in accuracy is audible! D.

Hi Daniel, Imported MIDI files are probably assuming a max pitchbend range of 2 semitones, whereas the FinGPO instruments have a max range of 12 semitones. You just need to take the number for the max range and divide by twelve to get semitones. Check the Finale manual on pitchbend for more info.

" If I remember rightly, the horn sample stops at our written top c - there are lots of pieces that go above that. The trumpet range is better, but still limited, especially for baroque music. If anyone knows a way to extend the ranges on GPO, please let me know. Thanks, Lawrence lawrenceyates.co.uk ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
Re: [Finale] Finale GPO instrument ranges
Hey Dennis, The Garritan Instrument ranges cannot be extended in the player, though you can get around that by using the pitchwheel. (FinGPO notes can be shifted up/down 12 semintones w/pitchwheel.) Or, if you acquire the full version of Kontakt, you can edit the range yourself.

The results are okay, but unlike the Finale softsynth, the GPO simply drops out when it thinks it's out of range and doesn't render the sample at all (even awkwardly, which is okay for my demos -- better a wrong color than no note). Searching through the manual for how to extend the instrumental range didn't help. It sure sounds strange when those high violins just disappear! Maybe I missed it. Can the ranges be extended? (I'm using GPO because something is up with the normal softsynth playback. Pulling the Midi output into Sonar, I see that two dynamics are being superimposed, mine and something not notated in the score, resulting in stuttering or silent notes. I got rid of any possible residual Midi info, eliminated all expressions, etc. It only affects two staves, and isn't there when using a swing value. Strange.)
