Well I got Finale 2006 and got it running with Finale GPO but dang
if it don't sound different from my GPO STUDIO set (I'm running the
piano duo sounds).
I notice I have to register this new Finale GPO too.
So...
1) Is there a way to run my 'old' GPO Studio with FIN 2006?
2) Do I really have to buy this new one?
3.) Why do the 2 versions sound so different?
Jerry,
1) The whole point of the AU/VST system in Finale 2006 is that you
don't need to use GPO Studio anymore -- you can load the full GPO
instruments directly into your Finale documents. Just make sure
you've applied the latest GPO Kontakt Player Update (from July of
this year), installed the optional "Notation" set, and load only the
"Notation" instruments. (If you applied the GPO update before
installing Finale 2006, you need to apply it again.) Also, make sure
Human Playback is ON and that you change any existing keyswitching
expressions so they do NOT play back (let HP catch them).
2) Huh? Buy what "new one"?
3) Your ears are playing tricks on you. GPO Finale Edition
Instruments use exactly the same samples as full GPO instruments --
with one exception -- the GPO Finale Edition keyswitched solo strings
have sampled tremolos. Otherwise, there's no difference. Since you
already own GPO full, there's no need for you to install GPO Finale
Edition, provided you install the latest GPO update and load only the
Notation instruments.
