Hi,
A newbie (pro musician) to LMMS and loving it.
I'm returning to home sound stuff after many years.
My son is a rap artist and I'm doing him some beat tracks (with a difference).
Sound fonts were not around when I last did midi.
SF2 in LMMS is dream.
I am working with a fairly recent computer in Windows XP 32 bit (deliberately for a variety of reasons).
Plenty of RAM and a fast harddisk. Everything is working well.
However I have a question:
According to what I have read about sondfonts, my on-board generic Realtek card should not be capable of dealing with soundfonts.
Only SoundBlaster and compatibles should be able to access them direct.
There is a suggested workaround at http://techtips.salon.com/load-soundfon ... -2819.html
Am I really hearing the 'true' soundfont sample in SF2, or a Realtek 'approximation'?
i.e. is SF2 capable of bypassing the Realtek sound engine, or do I need to do the midi re-routing thing suggested in techtips.salon.com?
Just curious if anyone else has pondered this.
Best wishes,
Alan
