you know I must say I prefer vst synths over soundfonts, but they too have
their place. I'm quite partial to one particular soundfont. it's not a gm
font, so it probably wouldn't work under any program used just for midis.
its' a fon put out by our verry own andre louis. It's 227 megs of
interesting stuff

Hi,
When I said it was hard to use, I was referring to the synth font website.
I thought, if I can't get you a link from there, I'll make things easier
for us and upload it, that way I'm not losing much on my dropbox, everyone
has it, there's no ads, and I can keep it up forever.
Now, back to this link thing again...
I was only trying to help you, to get us out of the mess, which I admit I
started. And I'm going to continue to try at least. Copy and paste the SGM
link and make sure it has no spaces anywhere. And yes I did bother to
check the link, I copied and pasted from the message right before, and
after I sent it! I can prove it by sending you a recording of myself doing
it.

Hi, prove it, the download link on that page, if you'd taken the time to
bother to look, is invalid.
As for the winamp plugin, it's very hard to use.
Simply drop it into the default plugins folder for winamp usually:
c:\program files\winamp\plugins
and you're good to go.
When you select it as a source, you'll be asked to configure it.
When you say yes you'll be asked for the path to your favourite sound
font.
The open dialogue is the standard windows open file dialogue so it is
completely accessible.
Just point at your favourite soundfont and it's all done.
Note: if you usually use in_midi to do cute things such as display
onscreen lyrics etc, you'll have to switch back, this one has nothing
fancy, bbut it will let you audition your favourite midis with your
favourite soundfonts.
Btw, I didn't think drop box gave you points, the .dl in question is
available everywhere but it weighs in at around 300 k so of course will
attach to an email, unlike the mentioned sound font.
So now, about those wolves.
Cheers!

Oh yes, I forgot about that plugin. Thanks for jogging my memory. That
plugin does still exist somewhere, I bet it's still on the synth font
website, but I haven't figured out how to use it, so I couldn't find a
link. I will upload to dropbox at this link:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5406787/in_aSyFonSetup.exe
weird that you had trouble finding the soundfont, the link is here.

I threw you into the wolves, I can get you out of them too. *smile*

Hi, when you google it the page takes you to a nonexistent download
site but i will find it somewhere and when I do I'll make it available
on my sendspace page so nobody else has to do the leg work.
Raymond, you can save yourself some keystrokes by assuming that if I
ask for a link it's because googgle didn't easily furnish one.
Alot of the sound font sites are now defunct and have been for some
time.
As to your other questions, I don't use a program, I use a sound card,
the xp box has what at the time was a high end audigy sound card in it
and a heap of ram, it's essentially a games and music play box.
Note: a little off topic but you can use soundfonts to play midis in
winamp with a plugin.
If I were raymond I'd just suggest you google it and throw you to the
wolves, <grin>, but since I'm not, the plugin came with a software
sound font editor however since I can't remember which one it was and
seem to no longer have it, the dll is called:
in_asyfon.dll
it's quite tiny so if anyone wants it just let me know off list and
it's yours.
hth.
Cheers!

Hi,
I forget the URL. If you google it you should find it. It should be
one of the first results.
BTW, what programs do you use for soundfonts? If there is an
alternative to timidity, I would be interested in trying it.

Hi,
I've tried this. It has two problems on my end at least.
First it can be quite laggy, a few friends have only had slight
lags, but the lag almost went up to a second here.
And for some reason, track 10 does not respond to program changes,
even if the soundfont has all the appropriate drum kits.
But it does have reverb, and something which I guess passes for a
chorus effect, you can change its settings in the configuration
files.
A soundfont I would strongly recommend is sgm, if you've got the 500
megs of ram for it. Works really well and sounds awesome no matter
what style you throw at it, with the exception of crap, of course.
