Subject: Cool tip. Improving the audio quality of midi files.
Hey everyone. I'm sure some of you enjoy playing midi files downloaded from
the web. However, the default set of sounds, known as the General Midi
wave table is less than desireable. Here's a cool way to replace the current
sound set with a better one. Core audio uses sound fonts, which have a .sf2
extention. There are lots of free sites that offer downloadable sound
fonts. Locate a GM Sound Font and download it. Place it in the
library/audio/sounds/banks folder. Then,go into system preferences and
launch theQuick Time preference. In the advanced tab, set the synthesizer to
the gm bank you just put in the banks folder. Close the preferences, and
you're done. Depending on the sound font you downloaded, you should hear a
massive improvement in the sound quality. Note. For this to work properly,
you must find a GM or General Midi bank. This way the sounds will be
propperly assigned when a midi file is played. Soon, I will place a link to
a free one that is absolutely amazing. I need to find a place to host it
because the archive that it is in is a .exe file, which only works on a PC.
If anyone has any ideas, hit me up.
