This listing contains all the General MIDI percussion tones on channel 10, patch 2, which is the channel (and patch) reserved for marching percussion. Finale’s marching percussion sounds are available when SmartMusic SoftSynth is chosen as your MIDI Out device in the MIDI Setup dialog box. You must also ensure the marching percussion staff is set to channel 10 and program 2 in the Instrument List window. (Or, choose a marching percussion staff from the Setup Wizard). Use the pre-designed Marching Percussion map to easily enter marching percussion sounds and appropriate noteheads. For a visual table that displays the default staff position and notehead for each instrument in Finale’s marching percussion templates see Marching Percussion Templates.
Tip: To see the relationship between MIDI Note numbers and pitches on a piano keyboard see the MIDI Note to Pitch Table.
