I recently purchased a Roland Fantom X6. I use a Mac G5 and have installed Finale 2005. I can't seem to get Finale to send patch changes to the Fantom. When I do the Tutorial in the Finale tutotial book (chapter 6 - more midi topics) the result I get is not correct - the patch assignments are not recognized by the X6 - it plays all the parts with the one sound - whichever sound the X6 has selected on its screen - not affected by the data I have entered in Finale. However, I can enter notes in Finale using the X6 as a midi source so I know the computer and the X6 are sending and receiving the midi signal.
Is anyone at this site using Finale with a Mac? Can you offer any suggestions to get me started? Any help would be appreciated. blueroom |

Blueroom,
You might try the Finale forum. I'm at a similar stage of learning Sibelius. Of the four pieces I have written and placed on a friend's website, one comes back with an awful fake piano sound in all parts, instead of the wind trio is was written for. The others sound as they did when composed. Since there are different options in playback, DLS, OSX midi, and Kontack Silver. I'm assuming the 'mistake' was made there, in my case. Good luck! |
