Because continuous data consumes memory
and disk space, you may opt not to record all types of this data when
you use the Transcription Mode.
- Before recording a performance with Transcription
Mode, choose Input Filter from the Transcription menu. Finale displays
the MIDI Input Filters dialog box. You can directly enter the controller
numbers you want recorded, if you know them. It’s simpler, however, to
specify the controllers by playing them.
- Click Listen. Briefly
play each controller or wheel you want to record in your upcoming performance.
As you tap each pedal or wiggle each wheel, Finale records their continuous
data numbers in the four text boxes. Be sure to also play a note or two,
to tell Finale that it should record notes, as well. Any continuous data
types you don’t specify in this dialog box won’t be recorded.
- Click OK (or press ENTER).
Proceed with your recording.
