Garritan Instruments for Finale

Included with Finale is an integrated collection of instrument sounds from Garritan Personal Orchestra (also known as GPO) and other Garritan libraries. These instruments are professionally recorded sound samples designed to offer the highest quality playback.

Whenever you start a new document or add an instrument to your score with the ScoreManager, Finale loads the included Garritan sounds automatically (so long as Play Finale Through VST is checked under the MIDI/Audio menu). Finale does this using Sound Maps, which link each instrument with the most appropriate Garritan sound. Sound Maps are ranked in order of priority in the Sound Map Priority dialog box. All sound assignments can be viewed and individually edited in the ScoreManager.

Tip: See Garritan and Human Playback Tutorial for detailed guidance on using Garritan Instruments for Finale and the full version of GPO along side Finale.
