This naming change is also reflected in the application menu. Version 25 is appropriate, since this is the 25th major release of Finale since 1.0 was introduced. Also, the retail box identifies it as version 25. If you look in the “About Finale” dialog it says version 25.

MakeMusic has stopped version dating the application by year moving forward it will be simply called “Finale”.

Sound Sets: Finale 25 comes with an updated Garritan Sound Set, which includes the Concert D Grand Piano from Garritan Personal Orchestra 5, full choir, esoteric additions such as recorders, dulcimer and didgeridoo, as well as a number of other useful samples from the Garritan World Instruments and Instant Orchestra libraries. The Aria Player has also been updated.Īt least 4GB of available RAM is recommended for use of any additional Garritan and Tapspace (AU) sounds: the more RAM you have installed, the more sounds can be loaded and available. It’s worth noting that many of the shipping plugins are still not accessible in Finale 25 when working in Parts, forcing round-trip to the score for many types of edits. Robert Patterson’s website states that the Patterson plugin “Codebase is updated and positioned for the future.” More information about this will be forthcoming.Ĭlassic Eighth Beams, Count Items, and the Band-in-a-Box plugins have been removed in this version.

Signs Point to Yes: Shipping plugins are now all 64 bit as well, and word on the street is that Robert Patterson ( Patterson Plugin Collection), Tobias Giesen ( TGTools) and Jari Williamsson ( JW Plugins) are all working on updating their plugins to 64 bit.

On the PC, the system requirements are Windows 7/8/10 (64-bit compatible). You’ll need 600MB of free hard drive space to install the software, and at least 2 gig of RAM. Color and image handling is crisp and clean on my setup, even using a standard monitor.įinale on Mac no longer requires Apple Java 6, although you will still need an earlier version of Java installed if you plan to run older versions of the Finale software concurrently. Graphics on both Mac and PC are now rendered using CoreGraphics. You’ll need 700MB of free hard drive space to install the software, and at least 2 gig of RAM. On Mac, the system requirements are OS X 10.10 or later (Yosemite, El Capitan…). Editing within a larger file seems much more responsive. For instance, on a large score, Human Playback, which was glacial in 2014.5, loads almost instantaneously. The first thing I noticed was a substantial speed increase with certain operations. The latest version of Finale was announced today by MakeMusic, and it’s evident that MakeMusic has put a good deal of thought and effort into this release.įinale is finally a true 64-bit application. On my venerable 2009 MacPro running OS X 10.11.6, after installation, I opened a few scores to poke around in.
