Hi Jim, I haven't delved enough into Finale's MIDI workings to try mapping things, but the Nanos work great w/ Reason and other softsynths, so seems it should work w/ anything controllable via MIDI if you have the patience to program it. Didn't know QuicKeys could be used that way! I'd

I understand about the memory issue, but it's an older computer and probably not worth upgrading memory just for Finale. And I find it discouraging if this is the case w/Finale, that they've added so many bells and whistles they've made it too kludgy to use. I run mega- multiple channels

Hi All, I just bit the bait and ordered '09, upgrading from '06, mostly because I read somewhere (on this list?) that the annoying behavior of having to completely re- load Garriton sounds every time one switches from one version of a document to another with the same sounds, was fixed. I
