Note: If you notice Finale missing notes or instruments during playback, Garritan Personal Orchestra may be exhausting your computer’s resources. You can disable GPO at any time by unchecking Play Finale through Audio Units under the MIDI/Audio menu. To use Finale’s internal SmartMusic SoftSynth, from the MIDI/Audio menu, choose Device Setup > MIDI/Internal Speaker Playback, and then choose SmartMusic SoftSynth Playback from the Playback To pop-up menu.
