How would > I unlock them? No. Thats just fine as it is, apart from you only having half the number of instruments that I have, but at least confirms that the soundfont is loaded. If no soundfont was loaded, the first 8 lines would be the same. The line: Allocated Blocks: would show "1" , and all the rest of the lines would show "0" . The soundfont I have loaded is the one from the Creative CDROM. It is CT4MGM.SF2, and shows "Instruments: 3560" when loaded . Are there any larger soundfonts on your Creative CDROM? I've no idea, but perhaps the soundfont is not large enough to play the midi file that you are trying. If you do use KDE. Try Kmid, which even though it crashes now and again, at least I know it plays midi files ok. Nigel.
