Hi Daniel, Imported MIDI files are probably assuming a max pitchbend range of 2 semitones, whereas the FinGPO instruments have a max range of 12 semitones. You just need to take the number for the max range and divide by twelve to get semitones. Check the Finale manual on pitchbend for

Hey Dennis, The Garritan Instrument ranges cannot be extended in the player, though you can get around that by using the pitchwheel. (FinGPO notes can be shifted up/down 12 semintones w/pitchwheel.) Or, if you acquire the full version of Kontakt, you can edit the range yourself. Cheers,
