Sure, but I'll warn you, a simple soundfont won't really showcase what you
can do especially i fyou're going for a full blown set. There's no peramitor
reference anywhere that I can find, yo have to learn from exposure to other
soundfonts. All it was meant to do, is allow you to make minor changes to
existing soundfonts, or to remove instruments or something very simple. It
still works wonderfully for creating soundfonts though, and maybe I can make
a tutoriel for this purpose in mind. That would take awhile though.
I'll get a tutorial that's half decent enough to get the premmace, and
include a sample soundfont and stuff and upload to dropbox in a bit.

Hi,
Sounds interesting. Could I have a download link and maybe a simple
soundfont for study?
Thanks!

Well, I found a way, but it's certainly not easy.
currently what I use is Sf2comp. what it does, is it decompiles a
soundfont into wav file, and a text file describing how the wavs should
be used, like key ranges, velocity ranges, instruments, etc. Then, you
can make changes to the wavs or the text file and recompile. You can make
your own soundfonts with it, however i always decompile a simple one
first and then modify it.
If you've got a ton of musical experience, it shooudlnt' be a problem
once you get the simple code down, but you'll still have t o play around
a bit with the peramitors to get the exact result you want. It's like
making Dectalk do things, if you're familiar with that. You don't really
quite know what you'll get until you listen.
Maybe we can talk about it off list?

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

Definitely agreed. I haven't tried larger than 8 meg soundfonts, but
the voice cutting out problem is more likely a bassmidi thing, and not
anything having to do with how much system resources you have.
I'm on hydrogen audio forums, and I made some suggestions there, since
it was 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
who turned 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
volume of
Bassmidi's sound. By efault it's all the way up, which is to me, a
pretty
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
are so
similar.
There is a volume control in Bassmidi's config window, you just have
to look
around for it. There are two tabs in the window, one called soundfont
and
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, a
nice
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
up a
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
it can
go. And b, there seems to be a voice limit, because when loading a
custom
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 it
shouldn't
be bad if you stay relatively simple
Thanks for the driver, it's the best yet and I will definitely share
with
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:
