External VSTs in finale 2014
Posted: Wed Feb 11, 2015 4:39 pm
Could someone please settle this once and for all?
Is it possible to use external VSTs such as EastWest, Play, Kontakt, etc. in Finale 2014 on Windows 7?
I have tried setting up both Play and Kontakt by following the following on MakeMusic's website (but it won't let me post the link to the forum...)
I have followed these steps but when I go to VST Banks and Effects from the MIDI/Audio menu the only options that appear are ARIA player and Smart Synth. Similarly, when I go to the Score Manager, under devices the only options are Garritan, SmartMusic Synth, and Aria Player. Is this a feature that only works for MAC computers?
If I can't find a way to use VSTs in Finale I'm going to have to start composing in Finale and then moving the data into Sibelius or a DAW and that is going to be a huge pain.
