To assign playback instruments (that will playback using SoundFonts), SmartMusic looks to the instrument assigned to each staff. It is particularly important to review the instrument assigned to each staff if you are generating a SmartMusic Accompaniment from an existing Finale file, and if the file was setup for playback with a MIDI device other than Finale’s SmartMusic SoftSynth. Remember, Finale playback with SmartMusic Softsynth chosen as the MIDI Out device in the MIDI Setup dialog box will match playback of the .SMP accompaniment file when performed by SmartMusic.
When you have finished assigning instruments, be sure to play the file to review your changes before saving.
