Gurus:
I have been working with SB Live!, Soundfonts & Sonar for about 3 months now. Aside from a few stuipid, stupid quirks existing inside Sonar and the way it handles (or mishandles) SoundFonts between uses I actually love the combination of program & sound card. My only beef- up until now- was the SB Live! only having SPDIF out at 48K. I use a Roland VS1880 and my needs for 41K i/o SPDIF is a must. So I bought an Audigy Card this weekend. I can now control my SPDIF i/0. But my soundfonts do not work at all.
I know my SFs still work because I can open them in Vienna and they work fine.
No matter what combination of parameters I try I still hear only the GM sounds. Look here for screen shots: http://www.triplogy.com/mygosh.htm
And, I'm having trouble with the whole SF concept while I'm on my soap box. Where am I going wrong:
1. Gather your samples within your SF Creator, like Vienna
2. Assign these samples to keys on the keyboard. These are the banks, right?
3. So what are patches?
4. Obviously, Sonar treats SF different than Vienna. How do I make the connection?
I love the posts here- you guys rock. I've learned so much while coming here.
