(Or maybe I'm misunderstaning what you are saying)ДЄs far as cost is concerned, as usual, it is well worth searching the net. If it does, there is no reason to think that the VST hosting applications would not also be able to do this. I am hoping that their suggested new version 'in the fall' will also allow such a range. Just for a bit of additional information - the GPO version that works for me (non VST set up) - working in conjunction with Garritan Studio and Kontact Player will allow up to 64 instruments which is great for orchestral pieces although much more complex to set up and also (for example) to get dynamics to work. This is much too complex for most of us when we simply want easy, reasonable sound quality.

Quote from: Lawrie Pardy - 11:05 pm The biggest problem I have here is that I am yet to find a full GM VSTi synth - they all seem to be single instruments. I won't be buying one myself - at least not yet. The SD4 has also been recently released - it costs more but supports USB. One solution that may attract some is an external MIDI hardware synth - Ketron have a unit called the SD2 which I've heard great things about - but it's a reasonable cost and needs external power and a MIDI interface - and you still need to plug the audio output back into your sound card - or an external amp. Overall though, the biggest problem I have is that my beloved Yamaha XG softsynth will NOT work in vista and is no longer available so there will be no updates either PGMusic's Band in a box ships with the Edirol VSC DXi GM synth (DX plugs into vista) - of course, BiaB is a DX/VST host too. The biggest problem I have here is that I am yet to find a full GM VSTi synth - they all seem to be single instruments. Though I have yet to explore VST to any extent, with the advent of vista and the changes m$ is forcing on us in the sound arena it is perhaps time that NWC became a VST host too. but that's another story.ДЄctually Richard, I don't think it is another story.

So I thought that I would relay all of this so that anyone else trying to get decent sound reproduction using a Vista portable will at least know the steps I have tried and the potential of a future version of GPO. I'm not sure what to make of the 'most likely' but there it is. However, they did say quote 'this fall we'll be coming out with a new version that most likely will interface with Noteworthy.' end quote. They replied that Northern Instruments would not permit this.

So the connection between NoteWorthy and Garritan Personal Orchestra version 3 cannot be made.ДЄn email was sent to to Garritan to enquire if, after purchasing Garritan Personal Orchestra version 3, you could then download Kontact player version 1 and thereby be able to use it with NoteWorthy Composer. This uses Northern Instruments Kontact Player version 2 to play the samples and guess what ! Garritan studio cannot use Kontact Player version 2. So I thought I would go ahead and purchase Garriatan Personal Orchestra.

In addition, you need to use some software called Garritan Studio to link NoteWorthy Composer to Garritan Personal Orchestra. Garritan Personal Orchestra uses Northern Instruments Kontact Player version 1 to play the sound samples. This worked brilliantly although it is not as easy to manipulate as a soundblaster soundcard with sound fonts. I next tried Garritan Personal Orchestra - Version 2. I next tried synthfont with midiyoke as the device that fed the output from NoteWorthy to Synthfont. They would not say if there were plans to make a soundcard for Vista portables that supports soundfonts. But it doesn't.ДЄfter several emails to Soundblaster, I discovered that not even their external USB soundcards support soundfonts under Vista. Soundblaster now make an Express card sound card (X-Fi Xtreme Audio Notebook)and you would think, wouldn't you, that this would also support sound fonts. On my old XP portable, it had pcmcia card slot in which I could use a Soundblaster pcmcia Audigy card (Audigy 2 ZS Notebook) which supported sound fonts. I have recently been forced to buy a new portable, this has Vista as an operating system.
