Re: Save what changes?

It's been this way ever since I can remember. Somehow they never seem to correct this.

Re: No Vibrato

There are many sound libraries that allow control of vibrato. Finale ships with Garritan instruments for "free", but you're not limited to those.

Re: Finale not triggering keyswitches in Vienna Ensemble

Why not use the HP Preferences provided by VSL? They're setup to use the existing matrices.

Re: Can I define playback dynamics expressions using just CC

If you create Human Playback preferences for your library, you can choose how Finale will control dynamics.

Re: EastWest library Play update

Play 6 is 64bit only and won't work in Fin2012.

Instead of copying the Play dll, you should add the path to where it is installed. I don't think the documentation was ever updated to say this.

Re: Finale and 4K monitor

Are we talking laptop of desktop system?

If desktop, you can always replace the video card with something that has the right input type and resolution.

Re: HP and Vienna Ensemble optimal settings?

Are you using the VSL Special Addition? They do provide HP settings for that.

Otherwise you need to create your own HP settings. Don't use the Garritan settings (the default). Dynamic controller will depend on is you have you instruments setup to use velocity cross-fade or not.

Re: Dorico, Finale, and crystal balls

I'm having another look with the 2.0 demo. There's no online help for play mode. I appears you can only address 1 MIDI port (16Ch). Can that be true?

Re: New upgrade to Finale.

Seems like a long time to me too. Also, MM no longer has a presence on their Feature Request forum, as Michael Johnson has apparently left the company some months ago. Doesn't leave me feeling warm and cozy, with MM now owned by non-musicians.

Re: Audio Engine failed to load Error code 7)

I get that error when I've run another music app with ReWire.

Try going to Audio/MIDI - Device Setup - Reset Rewire.

Re: NotePerformer3 now available

I've never cared for the demos either, though a lot of Sib users seem to love it.

There's a 30 day demo version, so I guess we can see for ourselves :)

Re: Issue with Finale and Realtek

Nothing beats a real audio interface, overkill or not. Solid ASIO drivers that are kept up to date, headphone jack, and good DACs.
