I'm using Windows 10.  I've installed Kontact, VDL, and Finale 27.  Everything seems to work-ish and I can get Finale to do playback through Kontakt.  Problem is, when I'm trying to use snare drum sounds, all the options sound like absolute garbage and I don't know why!  It's not anywhere near the quality that I've seen others get.  I'm about to be a new band director and I will likely be arranging/writing all of my marching band shows.  I hate the default sounds that Finale has and I would love to upgrade them using Kontakt.  Is there a way to automatically map instruments in finale to default to those sounds in Kontakt? How do I get the snare drum sounds to not sound like garbage? 

Thanks!

Are you referring to the VDL sounds that come with Finale or the full VDL library from Tapspace?

Are you using the VDL/Finale templates from The Write Score? If you are using those templates, review the Read Me documentation making sure that all of the parts are installed in the proper locations, primarily the XML files for Percussion MIDI Maps.
