Hello,

I apologize if this topic has been discussed elsewhere as I could not find it.

I'm using Finale 2009 and trying to get Hyperscribe to work. Everything is set up fine, well, Finale sees the midi keyboard and when I go to record I hear the click and the notes I'm playing.

If I just play a simple 2 octave C major scale, after I'm done playing and click on Finale to stop recording what shows up is a quarter note in the first measure with ALL of the notes on the one stem! So it just plays the entire 2 octave scale as if it is a chord.

Anyone run into this? Is there some simple setting that I'm missing that would make Hyperscribe transcribe what I'm playing over the appropriate measures?

Oh I'm playing the scale as quarter notes so I would expect to see the scale appear in order over 4 measures, instead it just shows up as if I played all the notes at once as one big nasty dissonant quarter note chord.

Thank you

Have you selected Use MIDI Device for Input?

Hi Miker, thanks for your reply.

I'm not seeing "Use Midi Device for Input" in any of the menus.

The thing is the midi keyboard I'm using inputs things fine, it's just when using Hyperscribe it inputs it all on one note, not over the course of time from measure to measure.

I did discover when looking for "Use Midi Device For Input" under the Midi/Audio menu "Play Finale Thought VST" and "Play Finale Through MIDI"

now when I have it set to play finale through MIDI I get the problem that I've been describing here.

When I I have it set to "Play finale through VST" it works!!!!! Oh wait......it works in that it now enters the music the way it should but the problem becomes the click track now doesn't play at all, where it played fine when it was set to "play finale through midi", so I have no idea when I'm playing what.

So still kind of stuck here.
Is there a place that I'm missing the "Use Midi Device For Input" selection?

Thanks again.

No, that's the spot.

I don't do that type of entry, so my response was just a shot in the dark. Probably, you should contact tech support.

Thanks again for your reply.


Sadly, still struggling with this issue, seems I'm the only one with this problem EVER! hahaha. It's really disappointing and has me checking out Sibelus as an alternative, which I always found daunting and overwhelming but I kind of need this feature to work and just have no ideas as far as what to try at this point.

Thanks again.

Mike
