finale recognising kontakt

I have installed on my Mac (Os 10.11) both kontakt 3 and 5 from Native Instruments. Finale 25 doesn't recognise the existence of either. They simply don't show up anywhere where I would expect them to. Can anyone give me a clue? Thanks in advance.

Kontakt 3 and Finale version of GPO

Hello, I can't get a response from Native Instruments about this, so I'm trying here. My difficulty is, when I use an instrument from Finale's built in Garritan orchestra in my full-version, paid-for Kontakt 3 loaded into Finale, Kontakt 3 tells me that I haven't registered the garritan product, whi...

I have single channel audio when I use digidesign audio output. This is a bug in Finale 2009 and previous versions. I have to use the soundcard output on the mac into the aux of my didesign hardware to get stereo. It could be the same issue, if you are using protools equipment.

Yes, this is a real pain for me too. THe instrument volume in the GPO KP2 player always resets itself to some value which IT has determined is the value it should be, irresepective of what I want. I remember I had this problem before and solved it, but I've forgotten how. I've tried HP on HP off, ch...

Try this: in playback controls, click the little triangle to give more options, find playback options at the bottom, click on that to open the record/playback controls, and check that dynamics and markings is set to "chase from measure 1" I'm on a mac so the windows may have different names in your OS

by the way, i used 2006d with 10.5 for a few months. It wasn't supposed to work, but it did, until one day, when it suddenly didn't and that was the end of that...Nothing could convince it to start up...

so I bought 2008.

(I always seem to get every second version of finale...)

suppose you change the name of the file that you're saving the audio as, then that new file name can't be in use by another application...

finale is really a notation programme, not a sound editing programme. If you want very fast violin samples without the attack, my advice would be to use sound editing software...

when imploding music...

it would save me time to have the option of placing the imploded music in ANY stave, and not just have the option of placing it in the top staff of the selection, or in a new staff added to the bottom of the score. This is possible when using EXPLODE music, so why not in IMPLODE music also?

you are both brilliant, except the customize toolbar thing doesn't work. Is that a Windows thing? I'm on a Mac and I can't find the commands given.

I have a Chinese made CME UF8, aluminium case, sturdy, which is absolutely brilliant, actual weighted keys, feels like a real piano, and is half the price of any Western midi-controllers. They come in 5 octave versions as well. They've upgraded since I got mine. http://www.cme-pro.com/products-list/...

Hi, you ask: Why is it that when playing back a line for solo violin, extremely high notes on the E string are simply not heard? probably because the samples don't exist for those notes, ie they are out of range. The Kontakt player will show you on its keyboard where the range for a given instrument...
