Re: [Finale] Speedy entry issue in Mac Finale 2012

I’m beginning to think the problem is with my MIDI synthesizer and not Finale. Even with Finale closed, when I press any note on my synth, I get the mallet sound after I release the note on the synth keyboard. Any clue what might be causing my synth to do this, and how I can stop it from

I get the percussive mallet sound whenever I press and release any note on my MIDI synthesizer, even if I am not entering a note onto a staff in finale. Trying to figure out how to be able to play a note on my synth without the mallet sound occurring after I release my finger from the synth.

With caplock on, you type your number then use the MIDI to input as many notes of that duration as you want. To get a rest, enter a note then hit Clear (that's on a Mac, anyway, there must be an equivalent on PC). John Roberts On 9/21/06 4:03 PM, Dean M. Estabrook [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
