[Finale] Percussion playback volume

Can't figure what I'm doing wrong. FinMac 2012c. Garritan Instruments for Finale. Fusion Drum Kit. Some percussion instruments play back louder than others. At this point, I have not added any dynamics or other expressions that would affect velocity. (Just tempo expressions). The Hi-Hat Foot

It's probably a Finale/Garritan issue. I've experienced strange volume differences several times on the Garritan drum sets. Then I switched to EzDrummer and everything works fine now. Jan Am 21.05.2015 um 20:39 schrieb Ryan: Can't figure what I'm doing wrong. FinMac 2012c. Garritan

Thanks. Downloaded the demo and it does what I want. It's too bad the software I already use can't be made to work as its supposed to. On Thu, May 21, 2015 at 12:24 PM, Jan Angermüller j...@angermueller.com wrote: yes, it's a VST plugin Am 21.05.2015 um 21:20 schrieb Ryan Beard: EzDrummer

EzDrummer seems like a stand alone product. Can its sound be used as playback from Finale? Sent from my iPhone On May 21, 2015, at 11:48 AM, Jan Angermüller j...@angermueller.com wrote: It's probably a Finale/Garritan issue. I've experienced strange volume differences several times on the

OK, I tried that, but when I enter a D below the bass clef staff, then turn on percussion style playback and select my map, it goes to the space below the 10th ledger line below the staff. If I use the D on the bass clef staff, it shows up where I want it to, but no sound comes out. When I turn

The percussion clef uses the same staff positions as the treble clef. So MIDI 38 will appear many ledger lines below. Make sure when defining the staff that you choose Percussion notation rather than Standard. Since you're still using Fin2001, I don't recall the specific steps. Things are easier

OK, I followed your instructions exactly, and the same thing happened. Then I followed your instructions on a new document with a single staff line and it worked perfectly. I then created a whole new score, pasted the other parts from the old score to the new score (except for the snare drum

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

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
