  • Definitive Finale 27 HP preferences settings?

    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.

  • 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.
