As I understand it, you can't use the SoundFonts in hardware, as you would with a SoundBlaster. However, you *can* use a software sampler, like fluidsynth (I use the qsynth graphical front-end to fluidsynth). Of course, this depends on the capabilities of your processor, RAM, and so on. I have a P3 700Mhz machine, with something in the region of 600MB SDRAM. I find that a couple of largeish soundfonts in fluidsynth (bass and drums from naturalstudio) takes up 49% of my RAM. Hope this helps Michael Nelson
