I guess I need to add that VST instruments can seldom be used as replacements for "General Midi" (GM) SoundFonts as they seldom have Presets for all 128 melodic programs + one percussion.

In SynthFont(1/2) you need to do a few things: 1. Register the VST file (a standard Windows DLL file) with SynthFont 2. Assign the VST instrument to a track. 3. Assign instruments/presets or set parameters of the VST instrument. Press Play! More details: 1. To register the VST file you need to go to...

They sure have a life of their own! The soul of Claude Shannon lingering on in the microchips.

Just tried it now in 1.133 using the Reassign button in Instruments/Wave data. For me it works. So what actually happens?

There is a 64 bit version of 1.133 to download, as well. (http://www.synthfont.com/Viena64Setup.exe)

Friends,
I have been on and off working on an Android app based on the SynthFont concept. Basically I am building an app that can play midi files using SoundFonts. That's it. Nothing more, nothing less. Anyone interested?

There are some people that are (were/used to be) quite interested in so called "black midi files". These are files with millions of notes, sometimes tens of thousands playing simultaneously. You cannot listen to these in real time playback mode without cutting the polyphony number, but given time, y...

Update 1: Installed NVDA on my standard Windows 10 PC. It works well with both the 32 bit version of Viena and the 64 bit version. It reads to me everything in the tree list to the left; samples, instruments and presets. This is what has been your problem, I presume. Also, the F1 works in both versi...

Correction: found one with Windows 7!

Correct me if I am wrong: the 32 bit version works on Windows 7 but not on Windows 10? As it is the same Viena code in both cases I would be inclined to think that the problem is Windows 10. That is, Microsoft has screwed something up. Next week I'll try and set NVDA up on my Windows 10 machine. I d...

Hi Melissa, Thanks for this information. It looks like the 64 bit version behaves differently - in a poor way. This is pretty odd, as the high level code used to compile both the 32 bit and the 62 bit version is 99.99% the same. It is only two different compilers creating the machine code. Hence, I ...
