[Finale] Full GPO and the KONTAKT2 Update

2007-08-30 Thread Henry E. Howey
I just discovered that the GPO update to use the KONTAKT2 controls will erase all of your KONTAKT(1) libraries and render the use of 2006 GPO unusable. This is highly irresponsible of Garritan, I believe. While I admire Gary's product, this latest discovery saddens me. Henry Howey Professor of

Henry... That is ***NOT*** Gary's doing. It is NI's doing. PLEASE do not blame Gary for this!!! Several people have found a workaround for this; it's posted on the Garritan forum. If I didn't have to go practice, I'd find it for you. But please don't blame Garritan for this. Jim W. From:

Chuck uses a Mac. I think he means Library, as in a Finale Library. What symbol did Nick add to the font that was missing? You should ask him about it. I would think as long as all the character positions in the font are the same as the old, then it should work fine. Perhaps Nick did not

I believe that Artic is the Postscript file that your laser printer will need. Articulations.bmap are the screen versions of the above and Articulations.suit are the TrueType Fonts. Also, in Bill's book, on page 14 and 15 he mentioned a little about this (for his fonts before Articulations).
