change octave of playback instrument?

Message par Williamhawk »

Hi everyone,
I've started an arrangement with using a clarinet part, and now want to change that to bass clarinet. I managed to change the staff name, and would like to alter the playback instrument which I think is in Garritan. I note that there is no "bass clarinet" instrument listed in the Garritan sounds, but test files for clarinet and bass clarinet (both of which are options in the setup wizard) results in a clarinet sound that plays back an octave lower for the bass clarinet file. Is there a way of telling Finale/Garritan to lower the clarinet playback by an octave in the file I've already put together?

I didn't find the right solution from the internet.

Hello,

If you simply want the playback to sound an octave lower, you could try this : create an expression (which can be empty or hidden), and in the "Playback" thumbnail, select Type ► Transposition : -12.

P.S. : the links in your message shouldn't be there. I removed them.
