Introduction to HyperScribe

Each time you play a note on your MIDI keyboard, the computer receives certain information via the MIDI cable: which key you struck, how hard you hit it, and how long you held it down. But to convert your performance to standard notation, the computer needs to know how each note’s duration relates to the beat and the measure.

In the past, music programs solved the “where-does-the-note-fall-relative-to-the-beat” question by producing a metronome click while you play. In other words, the computer itself provided a point of reference, forcing you to align your playing with the computer’s beat.

Finale offers this option, but also introduces a novel concept: let the musician provide the click. The computer gets what it needs to transcribe the music—a reference point for each beat—and the musician gets what he or she wants—the freedom to speed up or slow down while playing.

What’s more, Finale lets you decide what you’re tapping to provide this tempo reference; if you’re playing a single-line melody, you might tap along on a very high or low key on your MIDI keyboard. For two-handed performances, you’ll probably choose to tap your foot on a pedal. But any MIDI controller, from breath controller to modulation wheel, can provide the tap.

HyperScribe, as this recording mode is called, can be extremely accurate. First, however, Finale needs you to answer some questions concerning what you’re about to play:

In this tutorial we’ll explore how these settings affect your transcription. HyperScribe, by the way, isn’t just for keyboard virtuosos. No matter how slowly you go, HyperScribe is still an excellent means of entering music—single-line or simple music in particular—into a score. Even non-keyboardists often come to prefer HyperScribe for quick, accurate note entry. With the MicNotator feature, you can even play your favorite instrument, like clarinet or saxophone, to enter notes. See MicNotator for more details.

In the following sections, you’ll give HyperScribe a try. For a more complete discussion of various settings and how you might use them, see the User Manual under HyperScribe Tool or the Quantization Guide in the Appendix.
