HP auto-detects GPO, so
if you aren't using it, HP will work just as well (or better, in many
cases) than it did in Finale 2005, using whatever playback device you
choose. NOTHING is being taken away from Finale's or HP's ability to
work with non-GPO soundsets.
But a lot of effort went into making Finale GPO-aware so that HP with
GPO gives you capabilities that you can only get manually with non-
GPO synthesizers.
That seems to me to be a form of "taking away" since you're paying
your money and if you don't want to drink the GPO Kool Aid, you're
not getting the benefit of a large part of the investment MakeMusic
made in this version of Finale.
But Dennis was worried that HP in 2006 would require changes in the way
he's been working, even if he doesn't want to use GPO. That's not the
case. He can elect not to use GPO -- or not to install it -- and
continue to use his preferred playback method just as he always has.
That said, I agree a user-definable Human Playback dictionary should be
a high priority for Finale 2007, and I have made the case to Coda as
forcefully as I know how.
