Rick, There is NO way to see Sysex in Finale - as far as I know it doesn't even SAVE any of the sysex stuff. You CAN use Finale to send program change messages and program the pistos accordingly. What I do is get a file ready in Finale, then export to a MID file, which I open in Cakewalk. I then start up a blank file in cakewalk, (using the proper channels - 12,13,14) hit "record" and proceed to make my stop changes, which I then cut and paste into the OTHER MID file (the sysex commands) It is a bit labor-intensive, but once you get used to it, it goes pretty quickly. I tried to decipher the sysex, but the hexidecimal stuff makes absolutlamently NO sense to me <G> Have Fun!
