SynthFont is a program for editing and playing midi files using various sound source files like SoundFonts, GigaSampler files, SFZ files and more. VST instruments can also be used instead of a sound source file. A midi file is different from - for instance - a MP3 file in that the file does not contain any audio data. The file is a collection of notes and instructions for how to play them. SynthFont combines this data with the audio data in a SoundFont to produce ("render") an audio version of the song.
SynthFont (1 and 2)
You can easily assign separate SoundFonts to each of the MIDI tracks to make the best arrangement
There are lots of functions you can use to help you design the best arrangement. For example: it is easy to add various VST effects.
What people say about SynthFont:
"I don't know of any other program that understands so well what a hobby musician is looking for and has so many options. That was the first reason I liked your program so much. Besides, it is so stable and at the same time so economic in CPU consumption that even my older PC is running it with no effort. Even with 4 or 5 VST instruments plugged in. My respect for your work and I will certainly keep looking for further editions. R.B."
"I've been writing big band charts for many years, even ran a big band for the past 10 years. Too much work though to keep it going. All my scores are done in the old original Encore notation program. I import the MIDI file (from Encore) into Synthfont and assign the correct SoundFont file to each track.Then I make a wav file, open my N-track program and bring in the wav file for editing and effects - then save the finished wav file and burn to CD. Incredible! Finally accomplished what I new I could could get done without a fancy studio. Who needs those musicians anyway. Thanks for the great program Ken! - P.R.S"
"I've only actually paid for shareware twice, and SynthFont is the second time. Great program and I haven't even used half of it's options yet. E.C."

Listen to a few samples of what you can do with SynthFont:
Here are nine arrangements of some more or less well-know tunes put together by SynthFont users Charles Perry and John O'Rourke. John has recently made some new tunes. Says John: I was wondering if you can replace my 3 songs on your webpage with these new ones. I’ve gotten more creative over the years since I’m using more Soundfonts, VST plugins and other ‘Special effects’ to make new Midi song conversions.
Pink Floyd - Time
Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody
Pink Floyd - Money
Van Halen - Ain't Talkin Bout Love
Wings - Band On The Run
Edgar Winter - Frankenstein
