Finale includes a library of more than 100 Tapspace Virtual Drumline instrument sounds. To assign VDL sounds to an existing staff, note the staff's channel in the Score Manager. Then, open the ARIA Player to assign the desired Tapspace Instrument to that channel. Then, apply the corresponding percussion layout to the staff. Finale includes percussion layouts designed for Tapspace Instruments accessible from the Percussion Layout Selection dialog box. Review the Percussion Layout Designer dialog box to reference the specific instrument mapping for each sound.
For information regarding how these maps are used for input and playback, see Percussion. To see the relationship between MIDI Note numbers and pitches on a piano keyboard, see the MIDI Note to Pitch Table.
