using my other DAW REAPER for import/easy listening, because in REAPER i can use the "Microsoft GS Wavetable Synth" (even if my audio device is set to ASIO) and then i would export the Midi-Tracks i want and import them in Ableton and configure the right Instrument manually.
So i have to load the VST for each Track and configure the right program number. I tested the virtual Roland Sound Canvas / VST - but this got no program changes, thats to bad I can still use the "Microsoft GS Wavetable Synth" as midi-output in Ableton Live - but i hear: nothing. Most VST samplers compatible with soundfonts that Ive tried so far are 32-bit.
I changed my Audio device from ASIO to MME/WDM but i hear: nothing.īut i can playback the midi with "Windows Media Player" (because the coolsoft Virtual Midi Synth replaces the "Microsoft GS Wavetable Synth" with Soundfonts you can import) - the Instruments sounds very great (with Soundfonts "Arachno SoundFont - Version 1.0.sf2") - much better than the "Microsoft GS Wavetable Synth"!!!! Hi there, I am looking for a free plug-in that will let me use good old soundfonts in CbB (under Windows 10, 64-bit). I can route all midi data from Ableton to the Virtual Midi-Device but i cant hear any sound. Then i found CoolSoft_VirtualMIDISynth 2.3.1 which is a cool general midi replacement for Windows. The idea of using SF2 with success in music production is multisampled mapping of SF2, as we mentioned above. "Arachno SoundFont - Version 1.0.sf2").īut i have to use one VST-Instrument for each channel/Track in Ableton Live and i have to set up the program number manually for each Track. Best Free Soundfonts Sf2 Best Soundfonts Sf2 Natural Sounding SF2 Player The free Soundfont Enhancer VSTi by Gregjazz is a SF2-player perfect for making your instruments sound more realistic by adding randomness to the signal. I found a Soundfont Player (64 bit): sforzando v1.933 and imported some SF-Libraries (e.g. I allready know about the two types of midi files and in my example i have a midi-file SMF1 or 2 with separate tracks. I just want to load one MIDI-File and play it in Live. I came accross this thread because i am looking for a easy "General Midi Solution" (=virtual device or vst) in Ableton Live 9 and Windows 10.
