After tearing through the other Forums, and talking directly with MakeMusic customer support, it seems there isn't such a plug-in currently available.  I've read in our forums of Kontakt, GigaPro, and other high-end sampler programs, but it seems these are aps external to Finale that require lots of manual integration, in terms of sound assignment and playback.  Furthermore, it seems that there's a lot of extra $$ required to beef up hard-drive space, sound card, etc. for such external aps, and it's not always seamless.

 

I figured that in the wake of the high-end sound fonts and human playback made available in F2004 that secondary market players or some individual engineer-obsessors would put out some great sound fonts specifically for F2004 use that would go beyond what is standard out-of-the-box.

 

Thanks in advance for any response, and as I'm somewhat new to the forums, apologies if this is something already discussed in length, and I missed it with my searches.

 

Also, if anybody goes on to make millions of $$ by developing the first plug-in of this nature, please give me some.  Thanks!
