Re: [Finale] TAN: SoundFonts, QuickTime, and OS X

[Tim Thompson]

I don't know about Soundfonts, but the concept works with certain 
soft-synths in pre-X setups.  The QT control panel accesses OMS (if 
that is what you are using), and you can set the inputs and outputs.  
For example, I have a lab that has Virtual Sound Canvas used in this 
way.  QT plays the VSC rather than the QT synth.  VSC is accessed by 
OMS via an IAC bus.

I'll be honest to say that I am dubious about doing much of this under 
X (Classic), and haven't tried much.  I'm definitely no expert on this 
kind of thing, but have found that the QT control panel is actually 
fairly flexible.

So, does anybody know if it's possible to patch an external MIDI

SoundFont? (It would be nice if Apple's "Audio MIDI Setup" utility 
recognised QT as an output, so that you could just patch it in, but 
it doesn't.)
Greetings John,

I've just been through a similar issue with Andrew Levin offlist. Our 
conclusion, based on the setups of our 4 different Macs, was that it's 
not possible with QuickTime (including Pro) right now. I think it's 
something that should be reported by as many users as possible on the 
OS X feedback page.
