Sorry for the double post but something very important I forgot. GS and
xG soundfonts may not have all of the instruments of that standard, but
GM ones will. So if it says it's GM or anything above, then you are
garenteed a full GM set, but anything beyond that is pretty much hit or
miss. I sort of explained that in the article, but thought I'd bring it
up here just to clarify it.

Hi,
It's also worth noting that when a soundfont says it's GS, XG, or
whatever, it isn't fully compatible with that standard, it just has
some of those instruments. For instance, the general User GS soundfont
might have some GS instruments, but not every single one. I haven't
used that font in a very long time, so I can't tell you what it will
do, but if you go over an instrument that the soundfont doesn't have,
Bassmidi will just use the last one you selected before that. For
instance, if you go to a regular piano, and then to a piano on a
different bank that the soundfont doesn't have, it will just use the
regular piano.

Okay, then go to the Options menu, select Instruments, and assign the GS
definition file to your Bassmidi port. This will give you patch names.

You don't have an INF file associated with it.
What sound font did you download? Is it a General MIDI, XG, or GS
font? If so, then you can set the instrument definition to one of
those. If it isn't, then you'll have to use something to find the
patch names and build your own inf file -- it's fairly easy, but you
have to know what it entails. I put up a good explanation of how to do
it using Excel to make everything a lot easier a while ago here.
For now, go to the properties, set the patch to a number between 0 and
127, then see what plays. Move that number around in properties and
you can get a good feel for what's playing and where you have patches.

Hi list.
I downloaded my first font.
Importet it into Bassmidi,, set the ports to Bassmidi.
In the tracks list it's also selected.
It shows no instruments.
In the instrument list under options, what do i have to select there?
I don't know which programmes or banks to use for the instruments.
It is the .sf2 file.
What should i do from there on?
Can i just record a violin part and listen to how it sounds like?
I'm not sure how to use another synth like Bassmidi with QWS.
Thanks,
Dewald.
