Some soundfonts are pretty big. I often use a Gm soundfont bank thats somewhere in the region of 130MB. That's the biggest one I use. > There are lots of free soundfonts (some quite good) at > http://thesoundsite.net/ Unfortunately this can be quite a slow site to download from (at least it was last time I looked). Another good site is www.hammersound.net which as well as having a lot of good soundfonts, has a lot of useful information and a FAQ section about soundfonts. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- Colin Broom, composer [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
