It does work for me, but only wav files. I didn't know the bit about using VST (thanks Dennis), but I tested it out, and that is correct. I can get an mp3 direct, but only with midi files. I much prefer the sound from GPO4, so its worth the hassle of converting the file externally.
I am busy hacking a bunch of old midi files, so that I can use the music as backing for videos going on to facebook, to get past the copyright police! I have done a couple which have been about 700 measures or so. It *does* sometimes appear to stop after maybe 10% of the file, but it is just the display. After 2 or 3 minutes, the file finishes and the display comes back. I don't think it has ever taken more than 10 minutes or so. I just finished one, at 699 measures long. It played it to itself internally, and then started writing. The display froze at 2%, about 4 minutes in to the whole process. I kept monitoring the growing output file, and it finished at between 8 and 9 minutes. The display never altered past that 2% mark, though. Phil.
