Note: If you notice Finale missing notes or instruments during playback, Garritan Personal Orchestra may be exhausting your computer’s resources. You can disable GPO at any time by unchecking Play Finale through VST under the MIDI/Audio menu. To use Finale’s internal SmartMusic SoftSynth, from the MIDI/Audio menu, choose Device Setup > MIDI Setup, select a SmartMusic SoftSynth from the MIDI Out drop-down menu and click OK.
