Hi there, i am a real newbie if you talk about Soundfont and i have a question (really 2)

1 : can i when i download some soundfonts , and load them into : Kxproject soundfonts , and play a usual midi file with a usual midi player , hear the "instruments " of the soundfonts ?

2 : if it can ; how do i know what kind of bank i need ?

Thnx in advanced

[color=yellow]1.Mediaplayers like WMP use the default MIDI device as specified in your[/color]
[color=yellow]'Multimedia Properties'.[/color]
[color=yellow]So set it to use 'kX Synth2' or 'kX Synth1'.[/color]

[color=yellow]2.Load a GM (general midi) compatible SoundFont into kX at bank 0, both synths.[/color]

[color=yellow]That's it.[/color]

[color=yellow]Dutch;[/color]
[color=yellow]1.Mediaspelers (zoals WMP van Windows) gebruiken het MIDI apparaat zoals [/color]
[color=yellow]opgegeven in "Geluidsapparaten en geluiden" (k'heb geen ned. windows versie).[/color]
[color=yellow]Geef daar op welk apparaat standaard voor MIDI uitvoer gebruikt moet worden.[/color]
[color=yellow]In dit geval; kX Synth2 of kX Synth1. (maakt niet echt uit welke)[/color]

[color=yellow]2. Laad vervolgens een GM soundfont in kX, in bank 0, beide Synths.[/color]

[color=yellow]Dat was het.[/color]

Thnx Alot , only problems : there isn't allways 1 instrument in a soundfont , they have in itself registerd like : bank 0 etc.. so .. (ps , it worked with the usual drivers.. now with kx .. (sound font changer or something like that) )

[color=yellow]I don't uderstand what you mean. Please try to use the right names.[/color]

[color=yellow]1 SoundFont File contain:[/color]
[color=yellow]- 1 or more 'Banks'[/color]
[color=yellow]These Banks contain:[/color]
[color=yellow]- 1 or more 'Presets'[/color]
[color=yellow]These Presets contain 'Instruments'[/color]

[color=yellow]For example;[/color]
[color=yellow]example.sf2 -> bank 0 -> Presets 0~127[/color]

[color=yellow](See Vienna Soundfont editor for details on soundfont structure.)[/color]

[color=yellow]So what exactly is the problem?[/color]
[color=yellow]What is it that you are trying to achieve?[/color]
[color=yellow]Choosing (selecting) Presets from a particuliar bank manualy?[/color]
[color=yellow]If so, that always depends on what MIDI application you use.[/color]

[color=yellow]Most likely you are reffering to CL's 'Soundfont Preset browser/player applet'[/color]
[color=yellow]where you can see the contents of loaded Soundfonts and play them manualy.[/color]
[color=yellow]If so; kX does not have such a "toy".[/color]
[color=yellow]Most musicians/users will use a Sequencer like Cubase or Sonar for that.[/color]
[color=yellow]You can also use MIDIOX for that. (There's a guide somewhere on this forum)[/color]
