I've tried all the different soundsets with no luck, only using either of the other 2 devices produces those terribly fake sounds. The Korgs midi drivers are installed as well as it's editor program which allows me to edit the sound parameters and upload them back into the synth (not that i'll ever use it or understand how it works). I've emailed Sibelius asking them if they have plans to create an X50 sound set for the program (what is a sound set, the actual sounds in a file?) but haven't heard anything yet (it's been days now).

So I take it that the program (or any such program meaning Finale) can't access the sounds in the synth? i'm still not sure how all this midi stuff works other than midi is just data, not sound but it should still be telling the synth to play the sounds through the USB cable and having the sounds come out the speakers the same way the other sounds do like during playback with the other devices.
