Hello list, hello Darcy, I contacted Darcy off-list, but I'm glad he posted my mail here. While trying to find a solution to get the GPO Finale Edition up and running with Kontakt Player 2 on an Intel Mac, I've read posts from users having similar problems I had.
Double-clicking CD 1 of the Finale 2007 package shows two installers: One named "start here" (which I guess I clicked) and an Installation Wizard. At some point during the installation process I chose "easy setup" to install everything there is. I was quite sure the installation was successful and complete, but there was no GPO Finale Edition available within Finale. The installer didn't prompt for the second disc that comes with the package when I ran the installation, but CD 2 actually contains a GPO library-file: "Finale_GPO_Lib2.nks". CD 1 back into my drive, I noticed a folder named "GPO". Promising! I ran the installer in that folder, it prompted me to switch to disc 2, et voilà, finally the GPO-Instruments are available in the Setup Wizard. Easy thing, looong story. Good luck to all Apple-Intel-NI-Garritan-Users! Regards from Berlin, Germany, Robert 2007/4/11, Darcy James Argue wrote: Robert,
Seriously, for now you should really just use GPO Finale Edition for now (which is what MM is touting on their website). GPO Full for K2 is experts-only at this point and it is extremely buggy and does not work well with Human Playback. Even the installation process is laborious and time-consuming, and you most likely won't be happy with the results anyway. Or *are* you using GPO Finale Edition? It's hard to tell from your message. You have to understand the difference between the two proucts -- GPO Finale Edition comes with Finale. GPO Finale Edition does not have the same problems as GPO Full. Provided you have downloaded and installed all the appropriate updates from MakeMusic, you should be able to use the Setup Wizard to add GPO instruments. If you can't do that, then I can't help you -- you need to consult MM tech support. You might also take a look at the file "GPOHP Tutorial Supplement.pdf" found in your User Manual folder. Cheers, - Darcy
