does it work with finale? i read a review stating that when inputting chords of 3 or more notes, only some of the notes appear (in finale).

Yes, it should work with Finale. Alesis is a class compliant MIDI device. It is compatible with any program capable of receiving MIDI signals from a controller. You just need to connect it to your Mac or PC, select the proper entry mode & then you'll be ready to play.

Get a Music Time Delux--It doesn't cost much and it is much better than Finale. Finale is a cheap dog---

Good day Ed.. Songwriter is fun and productive to use if you need to print out quality sheet music, use MIDI device and saveaudio files for the money $$ it's really hard to beat. If you need to compare Finale $$$ go to Finale's websiteand look at product compare information. Also, use your manual and online instructions for the best results.Enjoy, Joseph

Keys are full-size. Unfortunately if I play more than 2 keys at once, i.e. a simple 3 note chord, I get a very ugly sounding 4th note. Can't figure out if its a defect in the unit or if it's supposed to do that. I use it to practice choral music so I'm mostly a one note at time musician but sure would be nice to hear a chord without it sounding dissident.

William is correct..."output is an amalgam of the guitar". I have tried all different variations for recording, none worked well for me. Lay your own harmonies for recording.....

No it doesn't work. Only plays two songs. I don't use it. Looking for a new better one.

it sounds true to whatever your original sound is, which of course, depends on your amp or your sound man. It works great for single loops...I've never used multiple loops. hope this helps.

Yes. The one I use has chromatic, guitar, and violin settings and they all show the same notes

I've had trouble with any tunings other than standard. It will eventually hear the note and start to work but once you get lower than a 1/2 step it has trouble picking up the note.

Sorry I wish I could answer your question. I had the very same thing happen to me about three months ago. The people at the Sienzo digital music mentor don't seem to care at all about the end-user's trouble. I bought and installed a similar software called chord pickout. It seems to work just as well as digital music mentor however it doesn't give you the bass tabs.

No, on the one I bought the C key actually played the note B flat. I assume all of them would be tuned slightly different though. Hard to fine tune a cheap toy. BUT IT IS POLYPHONIC!!

Yes it does but only works while the song is playing so you either have to be very quick or put it on pause, change the key and then restart. I find this very cumbersome.

Yes, very well. I have a Yamaha electronic piano and it picked up the chords from the piano sound and Fender Rhodes sound just fine. I was surprised that it seemed to find nice harmonies when I was playing Maj7th and 9th chords. One thing to note: The "guitar" input is a mono unbalanced input. So if your piano has a stereo output, it will come out mono after it goes out the "Thru". So, if you have any kind of mixer, like a Mackie 12-channel, send a mono output from your piano to the TC-Helicon through an Aux send and your piano will stay in stereo.

I returned it, was not happy with the chords, I cannot recall, but I think yes. Sorry.

Yes, that is why I bought it. Read instructions carefully to play, rewind, etc. Can't rewind between tracks. Have to start at the beginning of a track. I usually listen until I'm at the end of a track so I know where to start. I couldn't figure out way to stop and resume.

It depends on what software you use it with. It's a MIDI controller only, so it produces no sound on its own. It connects to a computer or tablet, and then any software that supports MIDI input should work with it.

Try doing doing the draw 2 softer until you get a clear single note. May take a week or two. Have a several of them and no problems with them, usually a matter of technique and working with it to get the desired sound.
