Finale Forum

I'd like to be able to get crash cymbal sounds that at least approximate an upward scrape, sometimes called "zing" {notated with a turn sign or an arpeggio roll].
I'd also like to get a bell tap sound, sometimes notated with staccato duro ( marcato/staccato).

My experiments thus far have been unsuccessful.

If anyone has suggestions, I'd be grateful to hear about them. Thanks.

What you're looking for may not be available in GIfF. Do you have GPO?

I'm not sure those are available in the full version of GPO either.
to get this type of sound you might be stuck having to invest in a more expensive library.

Thank you for such useful and speedy replies.

No, I don't have GPO. And how expensive would this investment be, and from whom should I buy?

I do have a VERY OLD Kontakt 3 (Native Inst.) but Finale 2014.5, unlike previous versions, won't allow me to use it, despite messages confirming its authentication. Frustrating, because plenty of those sounds are quite useful.
