Dear Hal, Since Quicktime 5 you can use a soundfont file as a source for the Quicktime Instruments feature. The files has to be put in the Extensions folder in the Quicktime folder. Use the control panel to choose the file you want to play with. I think you have to restart first.
In Mac OS X, there is a folder called Banks where you put all your sondfonts. So there is no secret on the new feature of Finale. And of course you can use Pipe Organ sounds, I happen to have some very good. There is no need for specialized soft. Write me if you need more help!
