I just upgraded to Finale 25 and want to use the garritan jazz & big band 2 DVD library I bought a few years ago for a big band arrangement i am working on and I Cant use it. Sound Priority map only shows SmartMusicSoft Synth.
The Score manager sound column has "edit player.." in red. I can see from there Kontakt 5 and see the big band instruments but I can't correlate the midi channels, I loaded a multi rhythm section but no sound.
What is KS anyway? there is no reference of that on the garritan manual/
HELP!

The only part I can answer is KS stands for key switch. Those sounds have key switches configured for changing the sound... say from non-muted trumpet to muted trumpet.
Key switches are notes outside the instrument's range that are used to send a MIDI message to the sample player.
