Heres my workaround to the problem that Cubase unload all Soundfont other than the first (bank 0) on startup and that you cant play with the fonts in Cubase.

My KX-driver is: Version: 5, 10, 00, 3528 - debug
My Cubase is: SX 1.02

1. upload the soundfonts you want to use. Your first soundfont should be GM (general midi) with many different standard instruments and have bank 0. I used FantaGM32 from this site: http://www.melodik.net/soundfont/ind...liste=id&syf=4

2. Upload the next soundfont to bank 1 and so on.

3. Rightclick on KX down/right on your screen and choose settings/save settings. Give your settings a name - example: "myfonts.kx" and save them in a folder of your choice. Remamber to click ok to the dialog-window.

4. Go to the folder an rightclick on the new file "myfonts.kx". Choose create shortcut.

5. Now rightclick the shortcut and choose properties. Click on the shortcut-tap and click in the keaboard shortcut field. Choose a keyboard shortcut to open your kx-settings. NB: dont use nomal ones that may be used in Cubase - i use CTRL-ALT-SHIFT-K which worked.

6. Now start cubase and make a midi-track.

7. Choose "All-midi-inputs" as In and "KX Synts ...." as out. Dont use the options called ....[emulated].

8. To record with GM midi soundfont, choose bnk: 0, chn: 2 and prg: to your prefered instrument.

9. Make another miditrack with the same in and out. First choose chn: ANY. Choose bnk: 128 to play with the soundfont on bank 1. Choose bnk: 256 (128+128) to play soundfont on bank 2, choose bnk: 384 (256+128) to play soundfont on bank 3 and so on. Choose prg: 1.

10. Now record sound on both tracks with both banks. Save your projekt (you should here be able to record with both soundfont)

11. Close cubase and open the program again. Open your saved projekt.

12. Now KX-driver somehow has unloaded other soundfonts than the first. Therefore use the keyboard shortcut (CTRL-ALT-SHIFT-K) to open your saved KX-settings. Now your soundfonts are loaded correctly again.

13. But still cubase plays with GM midi soundfont. The trick is to click bnk: down to 127 on track two and then back to 128 again. Now press play and Cubase should play with both general midi and secondary soundfont.

14. Every time you start cubase and add a miditrack, just press your keaboard shortcut to reload KX-settings and your soundfonts.


Hope this can help someone ;-)
