Many core features of Finale operate on the MIDI standard framework. In addition to the basic structure of how MIDI works, the General MIDI specification defines MIDI instruments. Part of the reason General MIDI was established was to provide a standardized listing of sounds or patches. This standard was developed so that when you play the same MIDI file on different MIDI setups, you'll hear roughly the same result. Many MIDI devices support General MIDI.
