1. Click the Expression tool  .

2. Click on, above, or below the note at which you want the patch to change. The Expression Selection dialog box appears. If you’ve previously created the patch change marking, double-click it. The expression appears in the score, where you can adjust its position. (Click on image below to enlarge)

    

   

3. Select Dynamics and Click Create. The Expression Designer dialog box appears.

4. Go to Playback box, then Type and select Patch. Below  Go to   (“To Clarinet,” for example). You can label the patch change any way you like, or you can leave the text box empty (if you want no graphic marking at all).

5. Click the Playback tab. The playback options appear.

6. Choose Type > Patch.

7. The Patch drop-down list appears, choose the type of patch change needed, select the appropriate Bank and Program changes. For example in GM type the Magnus Choir preset number that you wish (i.e. 44 Contrabass for 44 Vinyl Choir). See here the Magnus Choir full presets list numbers to assign the equivalent to each General MIDI (GM) number.

8. Choose Patch by selecting Program Change (Click on image below to enlarge)

    

   

9. Click OK or Select or Assign in each dialog box until you return to the document. Depending on your playback settings, you may need to begin playback at a measure prior to the patch change for it to take effect. To avoid this problem you can set Finale to “chase” the patch changes up to the point where you’re beginning playback. That is, Finale will quickly scan the piece all the way from the first measure, noting (and transmitting to your MIDI keyboard) any patch changes along the way, so that playback always begins using the current patch.

10. Note: No matter what the “GM” shows you, i.e. # 44 “Contrabass” because it’s GENERAL MIDI numbers. In fact, the number 44 in Magnus Choir responds to “Vinyl Choir” as in the example.
