BEGINNER HELP: Using VSL in Finale 2012

[SDGMusic]

I recently purchased the Special Editions and I'm trying to get everything set up but am running into difficulties. I'd like to be able to hear the VSL instruments as I'm working in the Finale score. How do I get this setup? I can't seem to get Finale to recognize Vienna Ensemble when I'm working in the InScore Manager.

Hello SDGMusic!

If you are working on a Windows computer, you have to tell Finale 2012 where to look for 32-bit VST-plugins. This can be done under MIDI/Audio/Device Setup/Manage VST Plug-in Directories. If you don't remember where you have installed the 32-bit Vienna Ensemble plugin, you can do a search for the file "Vienna Ensemble.dll". The folder where this file is located needs to be added to the aforementioned menu in Finale.

I also want to mention that we have Finale Human Playback Preferences for our Special Edition Volumes 1 to 4 and a keyswitch dump file for our other libraries to download.

Both files come with instructions.
