Hi,

I've searched for an answer to this in the forum, but so far can't find it.

Using Finale 25.5.0.259 on MBP late 2018, OS10.13.6

When I enter notes using midi (controller is KORG micro key air 25) sound is same in all parts, no matter what the instrument in the score manager says -- e.g. flute sound across all parts, regardless -- which also means in parts below middle C, I don't hear anything (below flute sound range).

In playback, the sounds are normal (as listed in score manager) and same if I enter notes using computer keyboard and no midi device (normal sounds).

Is there a known problem with this midi-controller? I seem to have used it in the past without this problem, so I'm also wondering if there is a set up issue.

Oh, and "reassign Playback Sounds" does not fix the problem -- just in case that was the first suggestion that springs to mind (as it was for me)

Thanks in anticipation.

MIDI/Audio->Device setup->MIDI thru

Set it to "Smart."
