Hi,

Okay, now that this has come up... Is there an easy way to create your ownsoundfont from samples you have laying around? Just want to do stupid stufflike playing MIDI files with weird samples.

Jayson

Definitely agreed. I haven't tried larger than 8 meg soundfonts, but thevoice cutting out problem is more likely a bassmidi thing, and notanything having to do with how much system resources you have.I'm on hydrogen audio forums, and I made some suggestions there, since itwas pretty big on those forums. I'm waiting to here back.Congrats to the author of the midi plug-in for xM play, and to the one whoturned it into a synth driver.

alright, I simply don't know why list filters do not regular whether
the subject is {qws} re: something and re: [qws} something. in any
case, the driver has been working just great for me. My notebook has
got ... this 1.6 ghz processor, 1 gig of ram and the thing works most
OK with most midis using the fluid r3 gs soundfont, a decent
alternative. YOu can surely load de 2gb crisis one and expect much
more worse performance! it works real nice with qws, but band in a box
seems to lag jsut a bit. i need to find a soundfont a bit under 142 mb
which is the size of the soundfont I am currently using. In any case,
problem solved, period. I think, and my suggestion is for this synth
to be put under the "misc" sectionw here the articles are ETC at the
qws home page, I am sure many will apreciate this information! and
perhaps, out of all of the ones who get this, we may commend or
recognize the author's work in some way.

Yes, it has nothing to do with midi volume, it just changes the volumeofBassmidi's sound. By efault it's all the way up, which is to me, apretty

comfortable level for an average midi.

Then the important question is, will this volume control respond to MIDI
volume? (Continuous Controller 7)

And yet even some more information, the bassmidi driver is in fact, a

realtime implementation of XM Play's midi plug-in. That's why they areso

similar.

There is a volume control in Bassmidi's config window, you just have tolookaround for it. There are two tabs in the window, one called soundfontand

one called advanced, in the advanced tab there is a volume control.

Whoa guys, the bassmidi driver is certainly a sttep forward!
It sounds almost exactly like xM play, which is what I was looking for.

Very nice reverb and chorus! Very responsive without Asio drivers, anice

accessible config window, and no instrument issues or looping issues to
complain about. And some other advanced controllers are supported too.

Sometimes it can be a bit of a struggle to get it to work, just load upa

midi in winamp or something that will use it, then load in QWS and it
should work garenteed.

The only complaints I have are, A, the volume is loud, which is good,but

you might want to watch out for distortion. It's not overly loud, just

loud enough you have to be careful if you're pushing it as loud as itcango. And b, there seems to be a voice limit, because when loading acustom

8 meg soundfont, instruments were cutting out left and right with some
really heavy midis. I had the same problem with XM Play before they
updated the midi plug-in and added an adjustable voice limit, so notes

cutting out is something you might want to watch out for. But itshouldn't

be bad if you stay relatively simple

Thanks for the driver, it's the best yet and I will definitely sharewith

friends!

alright.. and, there is more! as of March 2011 some people have been
working hard at this already! the following link points to a driver
that replaces the microsoft gs wavetable sofsynth by installing an
"empty" midi driver. You can then configure the driver through a
really simplistic and accessible interface which will let you load a
soundfont file and you can even give some of them priority above
others. This driver, this thing, enables any sound card that cannot
use sound fonts to dinamically load any of your preferred sound fonts
into ram memory, called bass mmidi driver:
