Jerry,
Finale 2006 doesn't modify the GPO samples. It doesn't matter whether
you play back the GPO instruments through GPO Studio or directly from
Finale, the samples themselves are *exactly the same*. There must be
other factors which are causing you to think something has changed.
Did you try lowering the Master volume in the Mixer? That's the
first thing you need to do. Lower the Master volume to 64 or lower.
What do you mean when you say the Ambience reverb "overwhelms"? AU
playback from Finale is *much* more efficient than GPO Studio
playback, for both GPO instruments and reverb. You should get much
better results going through Finale. If you don't, then you must be
doing something wrong, because on Mac, the AU version of the GPO and
Ambience plugins Finale uses are much more efficient than the VST
versions GPO Studio uses -- that's why MakeMusic went with AU in the
Mac version.
Are you possibly trying to run GPO Studio and Finale 2006
simultaneously? Don't do that. Just use Finale 2006, nothing else.

Thanks Darcy
I see there is a 'notation set' and I installed that along with the
AU and VST (I don't have any idea what this all means).
I did not install 'GPO Finale' -- that eliminated the pesky serial
# request which spawned question #2.
And yep it does sound different -- the Ballroom reverb works fine
for duo piano in the 'Studio version FIN 05' but overwhelms in 'FIN
06'. The pianos sound different too.
I have no idea what settings variation between the two. Luckily I
can run '05 with Studio and '06 for score work. Don't run 'em both
at the same time tho'. That crashes it.

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.
