    Hello,

    currently I am using Finale v27 with the SYNCHRON-ized Special Edition Volume 1 Plus and VE Pro 7.
    I am working with the Finale Human Playback Preferences from the MyVSL notation related area. Having completed my Finale file, I export it to MIDI and Import it in Logic Pro for further adjustments.

    Now I am thinking about using the SYNCHRON series products, in particularly
    - SYNCHRON STRINGS PRO
    - SYNCHRON WOODWINDS
    - SYNCHRON BRASS
    - SYNCHRON PERCUSSION I

    The Finale HP Preferences file now comes with a PDF stating that it does not work with SYNCHRON collections. As this PDF is as of 2019 and the four libraries mentionded above have mostly been released afterwards, I am wondering of this statement is still valid or if there have been any changes and Finale HP Preferences will also work with the SYNCHRON series nowadays.

    Thanks a lot in advance for your response.

    Regards
    RaPaSa

    Hello RaPaSa!

    The Finale Human Playback Preferences for the SYNCHRON-ized Special Editions only work correctly with these libraries. For our other libraries you can use the keyswitch dump file we provide. With help of this file you can add keyswitches to your Finale score and switch articulations this way. The file can be downloaded here:

    Hello Andi,

    thanks a lot for your reply. I installed the dump file and got key switches for artculations and CC1 switches. To my understanding, the proposed way to use them with Synchron libraries is to switch off Finale‘s hp and then to manually add them to each staff line?

    Is there anything similar to the synchronized hp preferences planned for Finale in the future? Or if not, which are the restrictions that prevent e.g. creating custom preferences for the Synchron libraries or does this make not sense at all because of the number of different options in the Synchron libraries?

    Hello RaPaSa!

    Most of our libraries offer many more articulations than the Finale Human Playback Preferences can offer. So Human Playback Preferences would be limiting our libraries. However they do make sense for our Special Editions, because these libraries focus on the most important articulations.

    Best regards,
