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.
