I agree 100% with this. It would be fantastic for Finale to be able to access VST instruments (or their soon-to-be equivalent in OS X, Audio Units), not just for sample playback, but also in terms of being able to use instruments like the Vibra 1000 etc. which aren't orchestral-instrument clones but true electronic instruments in their own rights. Without sounding like a broken record, if you like this idea, then be sure to email [EMAIL PROTECTED] about it! There is a VSTi wrapper but I haven't used it yet: http://www.defectiverecords.com/vstihost/findex.html plus a free one at: http://www.hitsquad.com/smm/programs/Ugly_VSTi/ Matthew _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
