Latin Percussion Map Table

 

The Latin Percussion sounds included with Finale were designed for use with the Latin Percussion plug-in. These sounds are configured for staves automatically (shown in the Instrument List window) when the Latin Percussion plug-in is applied to a new or existing staff. They can also be applied to staves manually in the Instrument List (see steps below). These sounds are only available when SmartMusic SoftSynth is chosen as your MIDI Out device in the MIDI Setup dialog box.

 

To setup a staff to use these sounds manually:

  1. From the MIDI/Audio Menu, choose MIDI Setup. Ensure SmartMusic SoftSynth is selected as the MIDI Out device. Click OK.  
  2. From the Window Menu, choose Instrument List.
  3. Find the staff you want to apply the sound to, then, under the Instrument row to the right of that staff, click the popup menu and choose New Instrument.
  4. Enter the Instrument Name. Then, choose channel 10 (or any GM percussion channel e.g. 26, 42, etc.), then Program 4. (Or, do the following if you would like to use several different channels for different latin percussion instruments: for Patch, click the popup menu and choose "Bank Select 0, Bank Select 32, Program Change." For "Bank Select 0," enter 120. For Program Change, choose 4.)
  5. Click OK to return to the Instrument List. Your settings have been applied. You can now use the MIDI Notes from the table below to add Latin Percussion sounds using an external MIDI device.

Tip: To see the relationship between MIDI Note numbers and pitches on a piano keyboard see the MIDI Note to Pitch Table.
