The problem I had with osx was that there wasn't enough good audio freeware. Pd works well, and so does csound and soundhack, but I use a lot of midi and find the lack of a free app like muse or rosegarden4 is not so nice, given logic audio costs $750. What I did was go back to os9 on my one machin

IIwusynth is really nice and performs well, its a soundfont software sampler, and swamii is a soundfont editor that uses it for its engine. I get good realtime playback on my laptop and have access to tons of soundfonts on cdrom. On Thu, 5 Sep 2002, Steve Harris wrote: > On Thu, Sep 05, 2002 at

Take a look at the sourcecode for soundtracker (I didn't write it, of course), its got the midi-sample playback you're interested in. Also look at iiwusynth, which plays back soundfonts, and swami, which is used to edit soundfonts and uses iiwusynth for its playback engine. All of these are midi c
