all instruments are not in tune??

[stefunk]

hi
i imported a midi file and want to play it via the garritan for finale instruments.
but they are all out of tune. not the same amount but out of tune.
how can i fix that?
thanks for your help

Are there any glissandos in the file?

Try deleting all glissandos, and check, whether that fixes the problem.

no glissandos. but it sounds like there is a shake or something on some notes. but this has to be midi-messages and not written in finale.
can i turn off that finale reads midimessages that are not notes/durations/pitch?
maybe that could solve the problem or what do you think?

i had the glissando issue a lot of times in the past. do you know a workaround cause this is really annoying. i have to use them a lot but everytime when i use them i get the mentioned problem....
thanks for your help

I don't know, whether it could solve the problem, but it couldn't hurt to try it.

I'm not at Finale right now, so this is from my memory:
Edit menu > Clear Selected Items...
Select something like "Performance Data".

Another idea:
Perhaps the culprit is an expression with playback effect "Pitchwheel".
Clear expressions from the problem region, and check, whether that solves the problem.

I don't know a workaround, sorry.
But the issue has been fixed in a later version - 2009, If I Recall Correctly.

Peter Thomsen: THANK YOU!!! I have been writing a piece with piano, voice and trumpet. The piano was, by itself, out of tune and the trumpet was a good 1/4 tone off of that. I called Finale support and they had no idea what to do. "Quit Finale and reopen the file" is the answer I got.

I tried the 'clear performance data' suggestion and it all sounds perfectly clear and in tune.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Using Garritan Sounds and it seems like everytime I use a glissando in a part, that part has evil problems for the duration of my work. Something cause the instrument to play out of tune.

Clearing Performance Data does not solve my problem.

I created two work arounds that are TIME CONSUMING AND FRUSTRATING.

1) Prior to playback, click hyperscribe tool, select track in question - and as soon as playback starts, I rock the pitch bend wheel on my midikeyboard and then the track is back in tune.

2) While playing, I remove the instrument from the Aria Player (Audio Unit Viewer) and then add it back in. This also seems to reset the pitch.

Both of these solutions are a pain.

Finale told me to trash my preference file - This also did not work.

Any Suggestions?

I had a problem - after adding a trill in the piano part of an orchestral piece using Aria/Garritan (default), the brass sounded like a Salvation Army band.
(It could be I made the trill longer than it needed - it's a strange tool.. to trill a quarter note, you have to double-click and drag straight down. If the duration hangs over, the trill goes nuts)

I found a fix for the intonation problems - which spread everywhere...

First, get rid of the offending trill (or gliss or whatever the problem is)

Then, go to Midi/Audio:Reassign Playback Sounds.

That did it.
I could get the trills in then too without breaking anything.
