East West Symphonic Orchestra And Finale Human Playback Questions

Featured Replies

So here's the deal.

Currently I have Finale 2010 and 2011, but I don't use 2011 because it's a pain and it took long enough as it is to get used to 2010 and 2011 has nothing new that is of any use to me.

So now 2012 is out and I looked (and quickly gave up doing so) on the site to see if it has support for East/West Quantum Leap Symphonic Orchestra (here-forward abbreviated as EWQLSO). I didn't see it listed anywhere except in a review of the program on their site. I don't trust it because their fan-boys can get REALLY defensive and stupid.

First Question:

Does Finale 2012 actually have Human Playback Support for EWQLSO?

Now, I'm debating on upgrading to 2012 or not. If it doesn't have the HP support for EWQLSO, it really would not be worth it. The 2010 version works just fine for creating the scores. The only way I'd update is if I could get more realistic rendering. It is far too much a pain to simply export the MIDI and completely re-work it in a DAW and add in EWQLSO.

I have the Gold version of EWQLSO which has all the articulations on the key-switching instruments. I've seen before where people complained that the dynamics and things always get destroyed by HP when using EWQLSO. I've not found anywhere that just simply gave a way to set up HP for EWQLSO (after searching for nearly 3 hours now).

Second Question:

How can I best manually set up HP instrument techniques for EWQLSO?

The only way you can achieve more realistic rendering is, indeed, supporting the pain and using midi in a DAW. The HP will sound like a computer most of times, and I really don't know if it can handle multiple articulations. And there's another problem: using EWQLSO with Finale, the cpu and memory usages simply skyrocket! The Finale will be more susceptible to crash.
