I have Finale 2014, including Aria Player with "Garritan Instruments for Finale". I'm trying to get the Aria Player to do something useful. But I'm having problems. Specifically, to start with, the simple violin playback is just a blur on my machine.
Here's the sequence:
1) DEFAULT DOCUMENT: I close all documents and restart Finale. To make a test document, I create a "File / New / Default Document", fill it all the way with quarter notes on middle C, and put a "jump always" repeat at the end. I click the Finale playback button. The computer goes bong bong bong nicely, sounding rather like a piano. (Even though it's using the "Microsoft GS Wavetable Synth", according to Score Manager / Instrument List.) All well and good. But then...
2) VST: I choose MIDI/Audio / Play Finale through VST instead.
3) ARIA PLAYER: In Score Manager / Instrument List, I choose Device = "ARIA Player" on Staff 1. Then, I set Bank = 1 and Channel = 1. Then, I click "Edit Player" to get to the Aria Player interface.
4) VIOLIN: In Aria Player, I click on the upper left choice (where it says "1 empty"), and change it to Finale Default Bank -> 007. Solo Strings -> Violin -> Violin Plr1.
5) PROBLEM: I click Finale playback button. I get one slightly-pulsating continuous middle C played back, sounding like a violin, as the cursor moves through the default document. There is no separation whatever between the quarter notes.
How do I get Aria Player to play two quarter notes in a row as two separate notes?
Please find "FinaleViolinBlur" file (using Aria Player) attached.
For comparison, "FinaleViolinNonBlur" (using Microsoft Wavetable) is also attached.
thanks,
Garry

This was a known issue that is better in v25. You need to go to HP preferences and change settings in Continuous data settings. I believe the Start/Stop time setting should be set to not be used by HP.

I'm sorry, I'm not following... the only mention of "Continuous Data" that I can find is over in
If I instead investigate "Human Playback", by going to
Hm...
Does there exist a score marking that is something like a "mild staccato", to tweak note separation without going to the extreme of a regular staccato? I see the "pizz." score expression, but that's overkill - and it has no associated playback qualities listed anyhow...
thanks,
