MIDI won't come out right.

[Ragster2448]

Whenever I save an orchestration as a MIDI, most of the instruments turn into piano... How do I fix that? Right now I know that a Xylophone, Sitar, Trombone and Harp has this problem.

Hmm... I have never done any orchestral arrangements yet, but... you know that when youre going to save a midi, some windows appear? Then, try the different options they have, maybe like that you can keep the different instruments. Sorry, I cant really help.

Actually, that did help me! I fooled around with the options and noticed when I saved the original version I saved it as one track. When I saved it as separate tracks, it fixed all the instruments. Thanks!

[DonValentino]

Great! 
That's fantastic! Glad I could help!

Hmm... I got another problem. I have bongos in my arrangement, and when the MIDI comes out it changes it to cymbals... Is there a way to fix this?

I have an issue: the timpani sounds fine inside Finale, but saved as a midi there is no reverberation or something else that makes it sound awful. Fix?

[Ragster2448]

Yeah, that happens to me also. It's very dry and not really pleasing to the ear. It seems that most of the percussion instruments have issues.
