[Finale] Drum rolls (help)

Hi all, HP doesn't respect the dynamic markings for the Garritan drum roll samples, nor will it do a drum roll when the tremolo slashes are in place on a regular drum sample. My map has only a few items: snare drum, snare drum roll), side drum, side drum roll, bass drum, bass drum roll, tam-tam,

I just found a note on the 7th ledger line below the staff that sounds like a snare drum. Seems like an odd position to put it in. Now I'd like to find a bass drum sound, and like Dennis, figure out how to make a snare drum roll sound. Also, I'm looking for sounds like a rim shot

It use to be (back in FINMAC 2005) that Garritan had two controls -- 1 for volume and one for force of attack.  I always found with percussion (membranophones) that it was better to play with force of attack.  I have not had to go there lately -- so cannot vouchsafe further on the matter.   I

Bill, if you're using Finale 2001 then you're probably using a MIDI synth rather than Garritan samples, am I right? Finale just sends MIDI data and it's the synth the generates the sounds. Finale has lots of irritating habits, but I think it's unfair to blame Finale here. First off, are

I think I'm on the right path here, but I'm not sure what to do next. I found the Percussion Map Designer in the Staff Tools. I made my own map and chose playback note 37 (side stick) to play at staff position 6 and playback note 38 (snare drum) to play at staff position 7. I selected my

Ah, you're not defining which notes you play to get the sound you want, you're defining where the snare drum note heads appears on the staff. To enter a snare drum note in speedy entry, you'll always use midi note 38. Finale will place it on the staff wherever you define in the percussion map

How do you enter notes and rests? Do you use simple entry? I'm not well versed in that, so I'm not much help. But in speedy, you can position the cursor using the up and down arrows. In the top left of the speedy frame it'll cycle through all the percussion instrument sounds assigned to that
