Re: Kind off topic... Reply #1 – 2009-03-06 07:35 am Well not really off topic since you may very well want to use soundfonts with NoteWorthy - and many do.However, you seem to be implying that soundfonts are specific to the operating system. Soundfonts can by used under XP, Vista etc. What is important is the soundcard's ability to use a soundfont and the soundcard's ability to run under the Vista operating system. (ie has the soundcard manufacturer created Vista drivers for the soundcard.As long as that's a yes, then you can just do a google search for soundfonts. There are plenty out there. If you are still wanting to know good sound fonts, then you should say for what - general midi range or a specific instrument. Hope this helps Quote Selected
Re: Kind off topic... Reply #2 – 2009-03-06 08:44 am well i'm not really looking for singular soundfonts so i guess i should have been more clear. on my XP i had added 2 whole sets of sound fonts, one from yamaha which i simply downloaded, and one from creative, which reqired me to install an actuall physical soundcard. unfortunatley my XP exploded and has gone to the great radioshack in the sky. What i am truly looking for a set of sounfonts, in a format similar to the yahmaha, which only requires software. Quote Selected
Re: Kind off topic... Reply #3 – 2009-03-06 08:59 am The Yamaha soundfont is quite difficult to get hold of now. They do not produce it anymore - But, as an alternative, you might want to try synthfont. Synthfont allows you load and run any soundfont without having the appropriate soundcard. It is purely software driven.Some people have had good results using this although you need to get the latency settings correct.Synthfont can be found at http://www.synthfont.com/You will need a virtual midi cable to get it to work with NoteWorthy -.

Re: Kind off topic... Reply #6 – 2009-03-06 06:11 pm I understand it, I don't work on Vista either ;-) Quote Selected
Re: Kind off topic... Reply #7 – 2009-03-07 01:02 am my deepest wish is that i could simply get the Y-SXG 50 to work on vista, all you needed to do to use it was use it as playback device. does anyone of any synthesizer/soundfont bank/what ever, that all i have to do is swich it to my playback device. more stuff about custom soundfonts and dowlonding sound banks is way beyond me Quote Selected
Re: Kind off topic... Reply #8 – 2009-03-07 02:21 am A search on NWC forum for "Vista" turns up many a tale of woe. If anyone could get the Yamaha S-YXG softsynth to work in Vista, Lawrie Pardy could, but alas, even he found no way. Some folks who post here have had success getting Vista to use other synths besides the GS wavetable synth and perhaps they will respond here. Quote Selected
