Re: [Finale] TAN: GPO on Mac mini

So I did a bit more homework. It seems it works better if you leave long samples such as piano in DFD mode. RAM-based, such as GPO works in RAM because each sample is small, but it is still not ideal when it comes to a big score like Darcy's. More the instruments, you will need streaming. I al

Darcy, I forgot to ask. Did you try moving GPO to separate volume/disk to see if it improves your problem? -- - Hiro Hiroaki Honshuku, A-NO-NE Music, Boston, MA ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu

Hi Raymond, Glad I could help -- however, I would advise you to get more RAM for GPO regardless. I'm barely squeaking by with 1 GB (the maximum amount of RAM my Mac mini will take). I would go for 2 GB RAM in a flash, if it were possible on my machine. The 1 GB limit is my one big regret abo

Thanks so much for passing this along! I had no idea this was possible. I was getting ready to buy more RAM just for GPO. Maybe I won't have to, now! Raymond Horton Darcy James Argue wrote: ... By the way, the instructions on how to change the polyphony for each instrument in GPO are hard t

Re: [Finale] TAN: GPO on Mac mini

Hi Steve et al., I was actually able to solve 95% of my problems by reducing the polyphony in the piano and harp parts in the score I'm working on. That's not a big deal for me -- in this piece, at least, I don't need anywhere near the 64-note polyphony GPO assigns those instruments by default

Re: [Finale] TAN: GPO on Mac mini

Darcy, The playback ability of GPO on a mac vs that on a PC is just awful. The most I could ever get on my 867mhz 15" Powerbook was 6 instruments. So you could get 12. Maybe. I have a 2.2 ghz PC. It cost $350. I have not found a limit on GPO. There has been talk of improvement on the mac side bu

Hi -- I crossposted this to the Northern Sound Forum: http://northernsounds.com/forum/showthread.php?p=268507#post268507 Okay, I've finally tried to get a moderately large score to play back in GPO via Finale 2005b on my 1.42 GHz Mac mini with 1 GB of RAM. The results, unfortunately, are not enc
