Do you know if Kontakt 2 download (when it's finally available) will work with JABB? Also, do you happen to know when the Marching library will be available? I've been waiting on that one for 2 years. Jim Williamson - Original Message - From: "Williams, Jim" &l

Darcy, I just want to make sure I'm understanding this. Is JABB not set up to take advantage of the Kontakt 2 that comes with Fin'07? Also, does the Garritan marching band library require the same specs as JABB? Jim Williamson - Original Message - From: "Darcy James

Hey Chuck, Just to corroborate what Javier is saying I often rename parts this way: Instead of Tpt 1, Tpt 2, Tpt 3, etc., I might put Tpt, Cornet, Flugal, etc. Even 1st Tpt, 2nd Tpt, etc. does not work; it will combine the tracks. Besides, it's a good excuse for using fun names such as Sackbut &

Make Music says that the problems of accessing simultaneous sound sources can be worked around. I asked if one could assign GPO sounds to certain banks of midi channels and say on board Fin perc. sounds to another set of midi channels.

Does anyone know how the trumpets sound in the included 2006/GPO package.   Or, does anyone know when the jazz library or the maeching library will be avilable.   Darcy, I suspect you know at least how the trpts sound in 2006. The on board Fin.2005 sounds are very weak. I do more marching ba

Can someone tell me how to specify swinging of 16th's and not 8th's?   I have a slow Hip Hop section (quarter = 76) where the 8th's need to stay straight but the 16th's need to be bouncy. The swing function does the opposite. I can accomplish the task by writing it in "cut time" but that's n

You can't create a push in slashes. You have to either write it in 2nd layer on top the staff or change the particular beat (select partial measure) to rhythmic notation. You can remove the stems, if you need to, in special tools. Jim - Original Message - From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To:

One of the reasons is that, in many cases, intro's are changed (halfed, doubled, vamped, ect.) to fit time issues or v
