You have to have a program that handles soundfonts, or a soundcard that
handles soundfonts. All the CreativeLabs SoundBlaster cards since the

Dear Hal,
Since Quicktime 5 you can use a soundfont file as a source for the Quicktime
Instruments feature. The files has to be put in the Extensions folder in the
Quicktime folder. Use the control panel to choose the file you want to play

You can use soundfonts directly with Quicktime, and that will work with any
version of Finale for Speaker playback. However, it is not possible as far
as I know to use sounds from several soundfonts for this, you need one
complete set.

Hal,
VSamp (a shareware program) will convert sound fonts to something it can
use. Reason -- a couple hundred bucks but really worth it -- will read
soundfonts directly. If you've never seen Reason, you really ought to check

Well, I got it working fine for sfz, using an executable shape. The main
