yay! i did it! 2001-05-17 04:00 am i figured this out a few days ago but havent had the time to post it here. i figured out my soundfont troubles (with my sb live! platinum 5.1)for anybody who may have this trouble here it is.the sb live! has 3 midi synths. Creative S/W (software) synth and A: SB Live! Midi Synth and B: SB Live! Midi Synth. the only thing i was doing wrong was i only used one of these for playback.. but to access user banks and soundfonts you must have both A: and B: in the Devices Used By PlayBack box in NWC. thats it. thanks for all the help here, because now that i know how to use this, your advice will come in handy happy composing everybody camus Quote Selected
