Definitive Finale 27 HP preferences settings?

[Rich2265]

Wondering--

What should Finale Human Playback preferences (HP) be set to to maximize perfromance?

I am using Sychronized SE v.1-4, and vol. 1/2 PLUS editions.

I am now using "Standard"....

It seems when I solve one issue--say, hairpin dynamic flutters---another corps up---fp not playing correctly.....faint dynamics...

I am constantly messing with HP settings. When they are good, they are very ,very good, but when they are bad....

Trying to write music and am dumping time I don't have into software fiddling...

Hello Rich2265!

I guess you are already using the Human Playback Preferences "VSL SYzd Special Edition", right? These settings have been made for the SYNCHRON-ized Special Editions (including PLUS volumes) and can be downloaded with Vienna Assistant under Additionals/Notation.

Concerning dynamics, I recommend using the "VelXF sus" presets in Synchron Player and setting "Dynamic Approach for Sustaining Instruments" in Finale to "Modulation (CC#1) + Velocity for Attack". This can be done in the Human Playback Preferences under "Dynamics/Volume".

For fine-tuning playback, Finale may not be the first software of choice. It's easier to get good sounding results in DAW software.

Best regards,
Andi

Hi, Andi!

Since you are talking about the exact setting and library I'm using in Finale 27.
I wonder how I can get the accent articulation to work with "VelXF sus?
Since it reacts on velocity only as it seems, the "Velocity" patch is the only option.
Do I miss some setting or just a limitation in Finale?

Thanks!

Hi petmar!

As far as I know, that's the way it is with accents in Finale.

Best regards,
