wolf brings you SynthFont today- a small package piano roll midi editor - with a MONSTER secret! [COLOR=#810081]SynthFont[/COLOR] uses soundfonts natively! Huh? you say - let me explain.
a loong long time ago in a land far away ... but i digress. the soundfont is the invention of Creative [emu] sound cards. originally the true "fonts" of say piano, chello, drums, guitar or whatever, would "plugin" to specific soundcards [the most well known being the sound blaster live! series] and instead of using the cheap midi sounds associated with every card till then, now you could use sount fonts - tiny manipulatable pieces of REAL sound!
so instead of playing a midi-piano you now play a real steinberg piano! instead of assigning "strings" you play a true violin or cello! WOOOOW! this was GREAT.
then comes along [COLOR=#810081]SynthFont[/COLOR] and revolutionises the field EVEN more!! with [COLOR=#810081]SynthFont[/COLOR] you don't need a special soundcard! [COLOR=#810081]SynthFont[/COLOR] now loads the specific soundfont[s] into itself and will play to the speakers OR a file - to save and use for other things like youtube vid or background music for you to accompany with your great [... or not so great] vocal talents.
don't get me wrong - [COLOR=#810081]SynthFont[/COLOR] is NO toy. there is a steep learning curve to produce anything of substance. but if you've SERIOUSLY been looking for a piece of software to produce some SERIOUS music - [COLOR=#810081]SynthFont[/COLOR] is for you.
oh ... and by the way - free soundfonts can be found AAAAALLL over the internet. and if you're REALLY serious there are some great soundfonts for purchase as well.
go ... make music ... live long ... and prosper ...
