Yeah, there is weirdness with the MIDI through function. I don't
understand it, but yes, basically you have to have already opened a
Speedy frame in order for the MIDI through to work, and then it
DOESN'T work when you switch apps, say to Transcribe. I have OSX
10.4.11, so it is an old issue already.

Hi everyone,
I am totally new to this group so forgive me if I am repeating a
problem already covered.
I transcribe early 20th century piano recordings for posterity not
profit and I have used Finale for 10 years and always use a
transcribing application called 'Transcribe!' listening to my idea
of the sound sequences on a very based 49 note midi keyboard
activated by Finale. The keyboard ALWAYS remained active when
Finale was the background application and Transcribe the active
application.
Recently, I became the recipient of an E-MU Xboard49 keyboard
(previously unused) and I have managed to make it respond to Finale
2010 but totally unreliably. In December 2009, I also made the
decision to move to a 27 inch iMac running Snow Leopard and hence
the need to upgrade to Finale 2010. That is the background.
1 The keyboard will only function when Finale is 'active' making
Transcribe much more difficult to use.
2 Previous set-ups always switched on the keyboard immediately the
application was up and running, albeit, I have to add that I was
doing so on a PC running latterly, Windows XP Professional. This
does not happen in Snow Leopard.
3 Finale never functions the same way day by day whereas I have
just loaded Finale 2010 onto my PC and in conjunction with my old
keyboard (so far) it works exactly as I am expecting it should.
4 I have tried to get a sensible response from Make Music because
this feels like a software issue but with no feedback as yet as to
whether it is my set-up or a software glitch.
5 For example, as I write I have Finale sheet music playback but no
E-MU sound with all settings apparently as before.
Has anyone any ideas for me to try?
Yours sincerely,
Malcolm Steele
