I am using Finale 2006 with GPO that came with it. I'm trying to setup GPO so that it is a plugin, but I can't figure out how to. In finale, I sent to setup wizard, and picked the sound set to be GPO. Then, I go to midi menu, down to Native INstruments VST setup, then there are the drop down menus, the only option being Kontakt2. So, I select kontakt and click edit. In the kontakt plugin, I don't know what to do so that I hear the gpo sounds and can use the wind instruments.
Also, once I get that problem solved, I'd like to use both VDL and GPO, and I don't know how to do both together. (I already have VDL setup as a plugin, so that's good.)
The GPO Library for Finale 2006 utilizes the Kontakt Player, not Kontakt Player 2. When you installed Finale 2006, did you install the GPO library?
If you are unsure, I would suggest tossing in your 2006 installation DVD/CDs and do a custom install to just install the Kontakt Player and library again. You can do this without having to re-install Finale.
Once you have everything properly installed, I would suggest working through the GPO Tutorial included with Finale 2006 to get a feel for how VST Setup in Finale works.

It sounds like you may need to reinstall the Kontakt Player from the discs. If this does not, you will want to contact Finale Technical Support to troubleshoot this issue. You will want to also check the GPO tutorial that gets installed with the Finale program to help you in setting GPO up with Finale. With 2006, the option should say 'Native Instruments Finale GPO'. If this is not showing up you may want to contact Finale Tech support to troubleshoot this issue.
