Soundfonts disappearing

moke · Feb 19, 2004, 02:24 PM

Whenever I load soundfonts to multiple banks, most of the soundfonts get unloaded automatically whenever I play a midi file. For example, I load a GM soundfont to bank 0, and some other fonts to bank 1. When i play a file, all soundfots on bank 1 disappear. However, if I load all the soundfonts to bank 0, everything works well. I am not sure if I am doing something wrong or not. I have 3537 "final" with (almost) default settings.

Now that I checked this with Windows Media Player, this did not happen. I am normally using Sonar 3.1.

Okay, I found out Sonar's own soundfont ability. It would still be interesting to know if there's some way to "lock" the soundfonts.

sonar and other cakewalk-like audio applications -always- unload all the soundfonts except #0 (at start-up)
