I am assuming GIFF is Garritan Instruments For Finale. I don't use this sound family, only Noteperformer. So what you are saying is that there is something in Finales sound processing code that happened somewhere before version 27 that negates both the first/second time only commands in the expressi...

Hello all. Finale 27 with noteperformer 4, windows 11, blah blah Trying to use the "play first/second pass only" commands to create different dynamics on a first or second time thru a repeat is not working. I have also tried using a dynamic marking but using controller 7 for playback definition and ...

Not only does it load very slowly for me, it stays 'blank' until I move the open window over to the other monitor. Then it takes 3-5 seconds before the machine responds to commands again, and that keeps happening every single time I play anything back. Windows 11, i9, 64gb ram, all SSHDs. Kontakt, Q...

Usually, in lets say a march, the piece will articulate correctly at first, then after a repeat the notes will be played much longer, then after another repeat later in...

I mainly write for wind band: flute, oboe, bassoon, full clarinet and sax sections, trumpets, cornets, horns, trombones, euphoniums, tubas, full percussion. I write some string music and chamber music but I am primarily concerned with the brass sounds for indoor (concert) band and outdoor (marching)...

Could you point me in the right direction please? I got cubase as a free download with my Yamaha workstation. I have looked at the cinebrass and cinesamples library, but I have read that they do not play well with finale (articulation issues). I was really looking for something the Aia player engine...

Hello all. Public School band director here with nearly 30 years of experience. I run finale 25 on windows 10 on a newer PC. I have GPO and also COMB2. My problem is this: I find the woodwind and percussion sounds to be acceptable. I find the upper brass sounds (trumpets, especially) to not sound go...
