Mine sound just awful. I bought Fin2006 purely on the promise that I could
at last hear my work sound something like real. But I'm afraid I was very
disappointed. The same with Finale's HP. I could never use it.

Ok ... so I'd like to hear someone else confirm that the GPO sounds are no
better at all than standard soundfonts. True? No? What's the concensus?

Well, my copy arrived, and installed, and eventually got GPO registered

Can anybody explain why soundfont instruments playback at one volume
while Kontakt instruments playback so much louder? With all the volume
controls set to the same?
Can anybody explain why the solo clarinet sound in Kontakt/GPO doesn't
sount any better than the clarinet in the included soundfont?
I honestly can't see what all the fuss is about -- the GPO sounds, coming
through the same speakers, don't sound any better than the soundfont
sounds.
The mid-measure repeat plug-in is pretty good, it does take into account
the partial measures in renumbering things. That's impressive.
Deleting a measure somewhere before the mid-measure-repeat section also
adjusts the measure numbering, including the partial measures. That's
impressive.
The addition of 64 more midi channels is impressive, so that even for
those of us for whom GPO isn't the be-all and end-all of playback, we can
use as many midi devices as we choose, and get better playback. That's
impressive.
It opened up a Finale2005 file without any problems, that's impressive.
One thing I can't figure out is where all the demo files got installed to
on my computer. I also noticed what looked like a lot of .sf2 files
being installed but can't find them on my computer. Does anybody know
what's going on with them?
