This doesn't sound Finale problem. I assume you are on Mac. If Finale doesn't see MIDI device then your AMS isn't seeing it as well. Open AMS and see if your device is active, and use Check Connection to make sure you hear notes. What is your interface? Do you have latest driver? If USB, is it on a hub? If Hub, is it powered? What is your host CPU? > Is this a preference's thing? Because I've had trouble with Finale >forgetting them when I open it by double clicking on a file.

I found Finale pref to be somewhat unstable, not to mention they are using legacy binary file and com file. It seems "Save Pref on Quit" is somewhat unreliable so I often Save Pref manually. Even with this, Finale forgets default window position often. -- - Hiro Hiroaki Honshuku, A-NO-NE Music, Boston, MA <http://a-no-ne.com> <http://anonemusic.com> _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
