David,
Ok. I should not have said that, I should have added "easily" or
something like that. By the way, I just had a look at your side and
must say it's very interesting. And it's very nice you can see the
graphics and download the midi.
I got a roland sound canvas about twelve years ago. It was about 800,
900 $, I think. I have one at the school I work, too. Still works
fine, and sounds better than any soundcard I know.
For some years there have been software versions out (Edirol/Roland)
that cost less than 100 $, I think, and the sounds are better (more
RAM) than the hardware. I should give them a try (Roland, Yamaha).
You can play your midi files through them, save wav files and convert
them to mp3s, it's not very expensive, it even doesn't need a state
of the art computer, but I think you might get better results than
using the soundcard. You don't have to change your playback files.
I use the Sound Canvas VST instrument if I really need a midi file as
audio CD or MP3. It's absolutly GM/GS compatible. And I am sure there
will be new versions out using more RAM, better sounds and more
computer power....
OK, I'll leave it at that...
