What it does

Use these settings to optimize Human Playback when using Garritan Personal Orchestra sounds.

Enhanced Jazz Feel Using Automatic Tonguing. A common basic jazz articulation is for players to tongue offbeat eighth notes and slur onbeat eighth notes. It is also customary to play consecutive eighth notes more evenly than anticipations, which are usually delayed. Selecting this option causes Human Playback to automatically apply this tonguing pattern and swing feel. Note that Swing must be turned on in the Playback Controls for this feature to take effect.
Enhanced Percussion Rolls using Contr. #22 and 23. Select this option to instruct Human Playback to manipulate the "Var. 1" and "Var. 2" controls to humanize percussion rolls. (This effect is applied in addition to "Humanize Rolls and Trills," if that option is also selected.)
Enhanced Winds and Strings Trills Using Contr. #21. Selecting this option causes Human Playback to apply MIDI Controller #21 (Length) to humanize wind and string trills. (This effect is applied in addition to "Humanize Rolls and Trills," if that option is also selected.)
Apply Garritan special effect also to Kontakt 2 Slots. Finale is not able to automatically detect which libraries have been loaded by Kontakt 2 (full version, not the Kontakt Player). When this box is checked, Finale will assume that all instruments loaded by Kontakt 2 are Garritan instruments.
Solo String Series Specifics (Stradivari, Gofriller): Optimize Performance (Velocity, Attack, Glissandi) • Enable Automatic Vibrato. For users of the Garritan Stradivari Solo Violin library and the upcoming Gofriller Solo Cello library. These libraries are very different from the solo strings included in Garritan Instruments for Finale and Full GPO. Selecting these two options enables Human Playback support for these libraries.
