Pin Board

Finale 3D has built-in a “Pin Board” firing system option with convenient, pre-made “Module Type” configurations that match common pin board pin configurations, with 25, 32, 36, 45, 48, 50, 100, and 400 pins.

Although scripts are not required for pin board fired displays, Finale 3D provides other indispensable resources including setup reports and labels, layout diagrams and voice cues.
