OK. I don't understand what all that means. Is Finale producing the output here? Or is the Kontakt Player taking a MIDI file and you're playing it back? Or is the Kontakt Player a slave of Finale, and it loads when you're using NI samples, and you make changes in it that affect Finale's playback? Do those changes int he Kontakt Player get saved with the Finale file, so that you always get the same playback once you've made these settings? And will Finale's WAV output (or is it MP3?) capture the result from the Kontakt Player? Sorry to ask about something that I'd know about if I were using Finale 2006 or later, but it's not clear to me how all of this works. -- David W.
