Human Playback Preferences Glissandi & Bends dialog box

How to get there

From the Window menu, choose Playback Controls. Click on the Playback Settings button on the Playback Controls. Click Glissandi & Bends. Choose Glissandi & Bends.

What it does

You can use these settings to control the playback style of glissandi and pitch bends.

Type • Automatic • Always Use Pitch Bend • Always Chromatic • Always Diatonic. Click this drop-down menu and choose one of the options to define how Human Playback interprets glissandos and bends. Choose Automatic to instruct Human Playback to decide which type of glissando/bend effect to apply. Note that the Always Use Pitch Bend option does not apply to piano, harp, or other percussive/plucked instrument staff.
Curve • Automatic • Cubic • Quadratic • Linear. From this drop-down menu, choose the desired playback effect for glissandos and bends. Choose Automatic to let HP decide the method to used based on the context of the music. A pitch bend or glissando assigned to a Cubic curve sweeps dramatically towards the end of the note. A Quadratic curve also reserves the most dramatic pitch bend effect for the end of the note, but at a more measured rate. Cubic and Quadratic would represent a common performance of a trombone gliss (for example). A pitch bend or glissando assigned to Linear ascends or descends in pitch at the same rate throughout the effect. Linear would be more appropriate for a chromatic glissando performed by a piano or other chromatic (or diatonic) instrument.
1/2 Tone Pitch Bend Range: None...24. Use this drop-down menu to select the number of semitones to apply to 1/2 tone pitch bends. Garritan Instruments for Finale Pitch Bend Range is 12 semi-tones. Garritan Instruments for Finale can take full advantage of HP's bends and glissandi. For GPO version 1 and 2 users, pitch bend range is adjustable in HP, but the effect is uncertain because instruments have different actual pitch bend ranges (for example, violin=1 whole tone, flute=1 half-tone). Default is 12.
Delay if Possible. Check this box if you want the effect to be tempered by the context of the situation. For example, a crescendo shouldn't start right on the attack if a slow string patch is used, otherwise the patch never plays at full volume.
