regarding the variant patches thing -- because your exported midi doesn't contain the line of SysEx for "XG Reset", Falco Lombardi's MIDI Special doesn't handle the variants right by default. you can get around this with the "Reset" button on the right-hand side of the player, just above the playlist portion of the GUI. if you right-click that button, you can select "XG" (instead of default "GS") and then all the MIDIs you run through it [that lack a reset SysEx] will have the XG reset applied to them automatically. i had trouble with this at first, too.
