Hi,
I found the GPO4 .xml file! It was sitting in the Applications/
Garritan Personal Orchestra 4 folder, and called, appropriately,
Garritan Personal Orchestra 4.xml.
I copied it to the Library/Application Support/MakeMusic/Finale 2011/
MIDI Device Annotation folder, and now things show up properly in
Finale 2011.
HOWEVER.... it is not all smooth sailing. I tried entering notes.
Aria player shows the correct sound set (for an experiment, I tried
GPO4 Basic Percussion, and GPO4 Percussion Toys). The Midi maps are
also found properly in the instrument list.
The notes/different percussion sounds track correctly when I play them
with my MIDI keyboard in the Aria player. They also sound correctly
when I enter them using speedy or simple. But they don't all play
back. Some play back not at all, and some do. Any ideas?
The ID labels in simple/speedy that tells you what you are entering is
still related to Garritan for Finale Basic Percussion, which is a bit
annoying. Any one know how to change these?
And, in speedy, dragging up/down to change a pitch (which would be
useful to find the sound you might want) crashes the program!
Any ideas?
If someone with GPO4 and Finale 2011 who is interested in solving this
would give this a try to see if your experience is the same as mine,
I'd really appreciate it. Then, perhaps together, we can approach
Finale tech support with our complaints/questions.
