Hi Clemens, >This isn't a "SC-55 implementation" -- while the samples are a reduced >version of the SC-55's samples, the MIDI implementation is essentially >only at the General MIDI level, and not fully GS compatible. I see, sorry I missunderstood, clear now! >Creative's soundfonts were created by Emu. It is said that Roland's >sample set is more balanced. Well I've listened to SB and RSC renderings in different occasions (including Win XP synth, which I din't know it had Roland samples). SB ones have never ever impressed me. Although RSC are not huge quality (definitely not what you would like to hear in music CD in my opinion), at least they always sounded balanced and "pleasing" to me. I would be very happy to use these for composing purposes, that is, to use the PC for writing tunes that would eventually be played by a band at some point. >Have a look at the gm.dls file. Size isn't everything. ;-) Dead right. The only "but" is so far I've been unsuccessful to find a way to use a DLS file with a soft synth for Linux (I just made a first Google attempt to search for either a soft synth that would load them or a conversion utility DLS to SF2 or something). Any suggestion? Thank you very much. Cheers, Alex _________________________________________________________________ Dale rienda suelta a tu tiempo libre.
