NoteWorthy Player 1.75 and SB X-Fi Synth And Vista

I try to listen to my midi in NWP 1.75 (32 bits version) and By default it load Microsoft Midi Mapper. I want to use SB X-Fi Synth A with Soundfont. In Vista 64 bits all my setting is correct. Even In composer I can choose my synth. The problem with NW Viewer it can't read midi file (.mid,.rmi, etc.)

What can I do

Find a 64bit Vista utility to set the Midi Mapper to "SB X-Fi Synth A with Soundfont"

If will know you succeeded when you can drag a MIDI file on to any of Microsoft's media players and it plays back using the Soundfont. Sorry I can't be more specific. Windows seems to change Midi Mapper manipulation with each version.

That's done a long time ago with a little tweak in the registry (regedit). WMP play well with the synth but not NoteWorthy Player. Maybe the program is too old. I hope that the Noteworthy Viewer 2 will support Midi files

Learn something new every day :) The registry tweaks I have seen change the MIDI mapper. You must have found one that causes WMP to disregard the MIDI mapper.

This old discussion may be of some help: MIDI mapper

It's a long time since I looked at the Noteworthy Player.
Does it really imports and plays MIDI files (like NWC does)?

Wow!
But it plays midi as-is or like NWC does after importing it? (You know: triplets, pan, bendings...)

Bending worked (on Gliss) but had midi triplets.
Since 1998
