Hi all! I used to play MIDI with AWE-64 with 24 MB RAM extention. So I could use the SF2 soundfonts. Unfortunately, the AWE-64 requires an EISA slot. Could please enybody recommend a PCI successor of the AWE64 which allows loading of SF2 soundfonts. Please do not recommend Audigy! This is a lie! The Audigy ALSA driver accidentally drops some tones. This is a known bug, but apparently nobody is willing to fix this See. http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/doc-php/template.php?company=Creative+Labs&card=Soundblaster+Audigy+Platinum&chip=Audigy&module=emu10k1 Furthermore it ignores reverbation and chorus instructions. Please do not recommend FluidSynth. To avoid misundersandings: Actually FluidSynth is a good software. But it produces wrog envelopes for strings and clarinets. The envelops are like xylophone (or so ...) I alreay mentioned this problem on this list. But without success. -- J.Anders, Chemnitz, GERMANY (ja@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx)
