Cos has been talking about better support for external hardware like his Roland SD50 synthesizer. I have listened to him and together we have made some advances. It is all about System Exclusive messages. To be able to send these to your device every time a song is being played you need to do a few things. At first, you need to prepare a file called "SysEx.txt". Here is a file made by Cos for his device:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1733095/SysEx.txt
You are urged to define a
group for each of your SysEx messages although this is for internal use only. For the moment you do not need to assign a
device name, although this may become an important feature in the future. Mandatory items are
send and
data.
Toe see these and change the "send" state you may display this dialog box:
To find it, go to Setup and click the button "Set GM and SysEx mode"
If you need more information then please ask.
I have spent a lot of time lately doing my best to facilitate better (=perfect) integration between
SynthFont2 and Viena. This version is the first in the series. For SynthFont2 to be able to work with Viena you need the latest test version of Viena also.
Here is SynthFont2:

Here is Viena:

Important: the Viena archive contains TWO files: the stand alone normal Viena executable, and a DLL version of it, to be used by SynthFont2. Put both files in Viena's folder, or in SynthFont2's folder, if you like it that way.
