Setting Up A Patch Change On Playback
Finale allows
you to add mid-score instrument changes automatically, along with an
expression that applies a patch change when using MIDI (or VST) for playback.
These instructions tell you how to create an expression marking that produces
a patch (Preset) change during playback of Magnus Choir VSTi. The following
information is only applicable
for Finale 2012.
For Finale
2014 click here,
For
Finale
2011 click here
and
Finale
2010 here. For
Finale PrintMusic 2011 here.
To set up a patch change on playback
-
Click the
Expression tool  .
-
Click on, above, or
below the note at which you want the patch to
change. The Expression Selection dialog box appears.
If you’ve previously created the patch change
marking, double-click it. The expression appears in
the score, where you can adjust its position.

-
Select Dynamics
and Click Create.
The Expression Designer dialog box appears.
-
Go to Playback
box, then Type and select Patch. Below
Go to (“To Clarinet,” for example). You can
label the patch change any way you like, or you can
leave the text box empty (if you want no graphic
marking at all).
-
Click the Playback tab.
The playback options appear.
-
Choose Type > Patch.
-
The Patch drop-down
list appears,
choose the type of patch change needed, select the
appropriate Bank and Program changes. For example in
GM type the
Magnus Choir preset number that you wish (i.e.
44 Contrabass for 44 Vinyl
Choir). See here
the Magnus Choir full presets list numbers to
assign the equivalent to each General MIDI
(GM) number.
-
Choose Patch by
selecting Program Change
(Click

-
Click OK or Select or Assign in
each dialog box until you return to the document.
Depending on your playback settings, you may need to
begin playback at a measure prior to the patch
change for it to take effect. To avoid this problem
you can set Finale to “chase” the patch changes up
to the point where you’re beginning playback. That
is, Finale will quickly scan the piece all the way
from the first measure, noting (and transmitting to
your MIDI keyboard) any patch changes along the way,
so that playback always begins using the current
patch.

Note: No matter what the “GM” shows
you, i.e. # 44 “Contrabass” because it’s GENERAL
MIDI numbers. In fact, the number 44 in Magnus Choir
responds to “Vinyl Choir” as in the example.

Expressions
are markings that tell the performer how to interpret
(or express) a musical passage. In Finale, expressions
are generally symbols or text placed above or below
the staff (see Expressions). Dynamic markings, tempo
indications, expressive text, technique text, and
rehearsal marks are all generally added as
expressions. Expressions have the ability to adjust
according to spacing changes in the music. For
example, when you apply music spacing changes,
expressions will move to the appropriate position in
the measure. Like chords and lyrics, all expressions
can be set to snap to a baseline so they are aligned
at the same distance above or below the staff.
