Re: SB Extigy won't work with noteworthy composer.... Reply #2 – 2003-01-09 08:42 am As someone who recently made the mistake of buying one, I have to concur. I liked the idea of having all my ports available in a separate box, but USB just isn't up to the demands of a sound card. It's OK for MIDI (though not as good as an internal card), but a non-starter for anything that uses intensive graphics at the same time.Anyway, Extigy doesn't support Sound Fonts. I presume you mean the built-in instrument voices?Robin Quote Selected

Reply #4 – 2003-01-09 05:02 pm okay so i dont know my terminoligy...soundfonts, whatever.. i mean using the midi sounds that come with the extigyyah i looked at the setup...I think "stay away from noteworthy" might be more accurate than "stay away from extigy"Ev Quote Selected
Re: SB Extigy won't work with noteworthy composer.... Reply #5 – 2003-01-09 05:18 pm I had the same problem and started browsing around on Creatives website , I found a driver and firmware update... so far that seems to work better.... although I have to admit that I nearly gave up as well...

Re: SB Extigy won't work with noteworthy composer.... Reply #6 – 2003-01-09 11:01 pm OK, now you mention it, I did install the firmware update before I tried using it with Noteworthy, so that might have avoided any problems.And no, don't stay away from Noteworthy! Don't give up on it just because of a few hardware problems that probably aren't Noteworthy's fault.Robin Quote Selected
