Hi, John... I'm out of my element on a Mac, so I'll try a few generalities: *On a PC, it is necessary to start GPO Studio BEFORE launching Finale. I imagine that's also true for Mac, so do start GPO Studio first. *Have you gone through the setup routine for GPO Studio? *Does the standalone GPO work OK? Knowing answers to these questions may help me to narrow down the issue...I know that there are some Mac users here...where are you, ladies & gents?? Jim

Hi Jim
Thanks for taking time out from grading papers to offer help. I tried
re-installing GPO but it said everything was already there. Anyway,
somehow GPO eventually appeared in Finale's Output Devices so I have
them set to GPO Studio 1,2,3,4 (but in italics -- doesn't that mean
it's not really true?). The output I actually get is from Finale's
SoftSynth. Do I need to somehow turn that off? In SoftSynth settings
there is a button for selecting SoundFont -- is that where I select
GPO?
As you can tell, I'm seriously out of my depth and in dire need of a
raft.
Regards
John
