What are the steps to setting up Virtual Drumline 2.5 with Finale PrintMusic?

Question

I'm trying to figure out how to get Virtual Drumline to work with Finale PrintMusic. I have MIDI Yoke loaded but can't seem to get the two to work(VDL and Printmusic). Can someone list steps for me?

Answer 1

These instructions are for both Mac and PC. If you are using a Macintosh, the AU plug-in should automatically install to the shared plug-ins folder (Mac HD -> Library -> Audio -> Plug-ins -> Components). If the plug-in is not appearing in Finale’s AU setup or is missing from that folder, please contact the plug-in’s manufacturer for assistance with locating the component. Macintosh users can skip to step 3



1.) Close PrintMusic. Copy the KontaktPlayer2.dll file from the following folder:

-Windows XP: C:\Program Files\Native Instruments\Kontakt Player 2\VSTPlugins

-Windows Vista/7 C:\Programs\Native Instruments\Kontakt Player 2\VSTPlugins



2.) Paste the KontaktPlayer2.dll file to the following folder:

-Windows XP: C:\Program Files\Finale PrintMusic 2010\FinaleVST

-Windows Vista/7: C:\Programs\Finale PrintMusic 2010\FinaleVST



3.) Purchase and download the Virtual Drumline 2010a Templates from Tapspace here (http://www.tapspace.com/Downloads-Updates-p-2.html#FinaleTemplates). Please follow the setup and installation instructions included with the template.



4.) Virtual Drumline 2.5 should now be available as a playback device under MIDI/Audio Menu > Instrument Setup > VST/AU Instruments > Finale Bank > Kontakt Player 2

PrintMusic isn't advisable with VDL, but if you want to try finagling it, try this FAQ.
