Velocity does affect the attack on sustaining instruments -- it does make the sound louder --- try it you'll hear. Jerry On 4-Jan-07, at 8:49 PM, Darcy James Argue wrote: Use the mixer, and turn on Human Playback when working with GPO instruments. Velocity does not affect the volume of

I think he meant to say velocity can't make a sustained note get any louder once it has started, like a crescendo. There ARE many expressions that change the attack velocity - if you have duplicated one of these expressions to edit and use in another situation, you might have inadvertently

Gerry, Velocity only affects the amount of accent. If you have a velocity of 127 and a CC#68 value of 1, the sound will still be extremely soft. Manually increasing the velocity in Finale won't correct balance issues for GPO sustaining instruments -- it will just make the notes more

Jerry, Read my tutorial, especially the section on creating hidden expressions that adjust mixer volume on the fly. If you disable Human Playback entirely, you will never get good results with GPO unless you are willing to do a staggering amount of hand-tweaking. It's far better to

Could you give me the link to that Darcy? I am still on FINMAC 2005 -- I bought 2006 but didn't like it much and so far have skipped 2007. Thank you Jerry On 5-Jan-07, at 10:25 AM, Darcy James Argue wrote: Jerry, Read my tutorial, especially the section on creating hidden expressions

It's in the User Manual folder once you install the Fin2006b update. GPO support in Human Playback is very limited in Fin2005. I have no idea what you don't like about Finale 2005, but if GPO playback is important to you, you are far, far, far better off in Fin2006. Cheers, - Darcy -

I find that increasing volume and modulation helps balance this problem out -- I usually hide the mod expressions. An mp mod, exp. should do it. Jerry Gerald Berg On 4-Jan-07, at 6:46 AM, dhbailey wrote: MB wrote: Hi. Could anyone explain how I get louder volume out of strings and

Again, you should NOT use any custom-programmed mod-wheel expressions with GPO, hidden or otherwise. Use Human Playback, with regular (not customized for playback) dynamic expressions. - Darcy - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Brooklyn, NY On 04 Jan 2007, at 9:34 AM, Gerald Berg wrote: I find that
