Using Sample Modeling Instruments with Finale

Hi there, sometime ago I tried to use the trumpet and trombons with Finale with no good results. Now that we have a bunch of instruments from Sample Modeling, like saxes and brass (F.horn, Tuba) and since I'm a Concert Band composer, I'm taking it more serious with the fact to use Sample Modeling software with Finale. I gave a try with the trumpet and put main, 2ond and 3rd trumpet in the score. Then I mapped Finale with Kontakt and remapped the trumpet to get the expression from the volume midi controller (expression 11 to 7). It sounds just amazing but two main problems... It just keep playing the notes after the note value is finish and the other, no articulations at all... I think that I guess the answer but wanted to ask anyways. Is there any kind of set up for Sample Modeling to work with Finale?



Also, there is some way to do set the trumpets so they can work together in an unison without technical sound problems? Creating an ensemble unison sound I mean... Is this possible with saxes (for example two tenors) and the other instruments from sample modeling?



If not, would it be possible in some way? Thank's in advance

    I subscribe for a HP update (Giorgio had direct contacts with HP creator implementing Garritan strings).



    Same for an ensamble maker for saxes: hey Stefano, please do it!

    I submit to that, Though I have managed to get them to work with finale in a very basic manner: set CC# 11 as the dynamic controller with a staff name filter (contains: trumpet, trombone... etc') and mainly control the release time with hidden expressions, and the duration using hidden articulations. For Trills I use TGtools, and EVERY INSTRUMENT MUST HAVE IT'S OWN STAFF. I know it's not proper, but finale can't play back divisi staves properly.



    It would be splendid to have sample modeling collaborate with finale to some extent, even just to compile a working, tested template.

    That would bring finale (and SampleModeling) into a Standard!! For sure. Let's have some hope.
