As far as I know, only a compatible VST plugin will let you add another program to Finale. I use a variety of drum sequencers. Few are compatible. Those that are not supported by Finale, like Hydrogen (offers the superb Linn drums), I save as WAV files then mix the tracks with those created in Finale, mixing down in Ableton or Audacity for further editing and mastering.

Not sure if I understand what you wish to do. If your keyboard has a built in drum sounds then a MIDI connection should work with Finale that can record the track you play live. You may need an interface, like Focusrite. I'm guessing you would need to make two or more tracks, since drum parts have up to four instruments playing simultaneously. If no one else can help here, try searching for a tutorial on Youtube on how to interface music hardware with Finale.

Djard,

It sounds to me like he wants to use electronic drum pads, and play them into Finale via Hyperscribe.

Yes sir, I want to do a notation using Edrum instead of keyboard.
