Many thanks Julien. I found I was windozed; the soundfonts on the CL cd were labelled *.SF2, not *.sf2, which was why I couldn't find them. I have since loaded PC51f onto my soundcard, but as my sound card only appears to have 8 megs of space on it, I have a somewhat cut down collection. Does anyone have any reccomendations on which soundfonts to use, or whether it's better to use a softsynth, or maybe I should just try these things out...
