Instrument techniques and effects

Instrument techniques allow Human Playback to take advantage of the full range of sounds in a given sound library, from basic General MIDI to high-end samples like Garritan or EWQL. In some libraries, they can be actual techniques such as pizzicato or flutter-tongue. Earlier versions of Finale (2006 and earlier) included limited support for instrument techniques, focused on GPO (Finale and Full editions) and GM (SoftSynth), but were not customizable. In particular, there was no way to mix different sample libraries so that Human Playback could interpret the whole thing smoothly.

Every item in the Instr. Techniques list represents a particular technique or effect. The default set features about 30 items, including full support for SoftSynth, Garritan Instruments for Finale, Garritan Personal Orchestra, Garritan Jazz & Big Band, Garritan Concert & Marching Band, Stradivari Violin, and Gofriller Cello.
