If your playback grinds to a halt or becomes distorted in moments like these, you may want to limit the polyphony on multitimbral instruments, especially on instruments that have a high polyphony setting by default.

The same principle holds true for harp glissandi, timpani rolls, etc. If you have a succession of big piano chords with the sustain pedal down, all those notes can pile up, swamping your computer's memory. But each individual note requires processing power to play, and lots of simultaneous notes require lots of processing power. By default, instruments like GPO's Steinway Piano and JABB's Steinway Jazz Piano allow up to 32-note polyphony. Polyphony is the maximum number of notes that are allowed to sound simultaneously for each instrument. Noteman says: Do not attempt to reduce the polyphony on Garritan Personal Orchestra Solo instruments or JABB wind instruments. If this makes Garritan playback too soft overall, you can compensate by turning up the system volume and/or the volume on your computer speakers. Open the mixer and drag the master volume slider down a level 64 or lower is recommended. If you set the master volume in Finale too high, the sound often becomes distorted.

Turn down the master volume in the Mixer.

Even with virtual memory management and multitasking built-in to Mac OS X and Windows, you don’t want Finale to have to fight other applications for physical RAM and other system resources, especially during playback. More memory means you will be able to load more Garritan instruments simultaneously. Some of the Garritan instruments take up quite a bit of memory (for example, the Steinway Piano, or the keyswitched section violins) and if you don’t have at least 2 GB minimum, you will probably find yourself running out of memory very quickly. We recommend that you have 4 GB of RAM or more installed. Garritan samples are RAM-intensive, meaning they load in system memory (instead of being streamed from a hard drive like some other sample libraries).

If you are experiencing playback problems, here are some things you can do to help, in order of priority: But even if you have the latest and greatest hardware, you may still run into situations where your computer is overwhelmed by the number of instruments playing at once.

If your computer does not meet or exceed the minimum system requirements for your sample libraries, the results will most likely be disappointing. Using high-quality sampled instruments makes a lot demands on your computer’s hardware, and the more instruments you use, the greater the demands.
