GPO and Human Playback

Human Playback includes enhanced capabilities when used with Finale’s integrated Garritan Personal Orchestra sounds (or the full version of Garritan Personal Orchestra). One of these is the ability to apply patch changes automatically using keyswitch triggers. Several GPO instruments include multiple sounds, for example, pizzicato and arco for strings. These alternate sounds are called ”Keyswitches.” Human Playback interprets expression or Smart Shape text added to the score (such as “pizz”) and changes the instrument sound during playback accordingly. See GPO Keyswitch Triggers for Human Playback  for details.

Additionally, Instrument Techniques can be applied to an instrument sound and/or modified to take full advantage of GPO and other sound sample libraries. See Garritan & Human Playback Tutorial for information on how to get the most out of these tools.
