The difference between these is the MIDI note location of the Keyswitches. Garritan ships 2 versions of its Premium Libraries – “Notation” and “Standard.” Once installed, they’re selectable in the Aria Player. Most are pre-configured to interpret exact Text Expression text keywords. In cases where your desired technique is not included in Finale’s list in Human Playback Preferences>Techniques, it might still be available as a Keyswitch for the instrument, as with the Non-Vibrato flute sound, and many string techniques. In some instances (such as No Vibrato flute in GPO) you need to create a technique in Human Playback Preferences>Techniques. Most technique expressions will work out of the box. Key Switches For Custom Technique Sounds In Human Playback There’s no “knob” for this CC in the Aria Player controls… has to be a Text Expression, or midi message in the DAW.

Interestingly, this also allows to staccatos sound crisper (or at all, which they may not at the default settings), and quick passages are clearer. For my writing, if the strings aren’t playing on time, it drives me crazy. You can skip over the slow swell that all of the GPO strings are recorded with.If you want a longer build in the attack, send a lower value to CC 119. It turns out that that value affects the start point of playback within the sample itself. Solution? Create a Text Expression sending a Controller change to #119, with a value of 127 (max). The samples themselves are high-quality, but this behavior is a real hair-puller. Lagging Strings in GPOĪfter years of thrashing around trying to find workarounds, I found a really simple method to get Garritan GPO strings to “get on the beat”… it’s the #1 reason why “everybody hates Garritan.” All the samples were recorded with a slow attack and swell at the beginning…makes for really mushy playback… and that’s the default. The new Garritan installers are doing much better housekeeping than they used to. soundmap files that need to go in the right place. They reside in the Device Annotation folder, in your Finale version’s Folder, in Make Music folder in Application Support in the User’s Library Folder (at least on the Mac). In order for Finale to recognize Garritan Premium Libraries like Garritan Personal Orchestra, Garritan Instant Orchestra, Garritan World Instruments, the Band libraries, and the Harp, Organ and Piano libraries, as “ Devices,” the Device Annotation xml files need to be in place. Others need to have techniques added but most common ones work immediately. Key Switches work “out-of-the-box” when installation and setup are complete for some of the Libraries.
