Jari has just put up a "Sound Comparisons Page" on his website: http://finaletips.nu/fin2006review/soundtech.php
This demonstrates the difference between Finale GPO without HP, the SoftSynth with HP, and Finale GPO with HP. These are all done with minimal changes to Fin06's defaults (he describes the changes he makes). Also, he includes a higher-quality recording of the "Finale GPO with HP" example and a demonstration of the Full GPO with HP. The Last one seems to be more extensively tweaked since he mentions that "the end result is very much a result of individual personal taste." Hopefully this will give you a more throrough audible explanation of the differences. I, for one, really enjoy the GPO examples; even those created with the Finale-included GPO sound set. The SoftSynth sounds horrible to me in comparison; but then again, I never used it anyway, preferring even QuickTime Instruments in Finale 2004 and 2005. -- Brad Beyenhof [EMAIL PROTECTED] my blog: http://augmentedfourth.blogspot.com Life would be so much easier if only (3/2)^12=(2/1)^7. _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
