I am putting together a home studio (Sonar XL, Tascam M-520 mixer, Delta 66, WinME) and was getting ready to buy an SB Live! when a co-worker gave me an Ensoniq Audio PCI for free.
I couldn't find anything in the documentation, on the package itself, or online regarding whether it supports Soundfonts. When I called their 800 number, I was informed that there are two versions of Soundfonts — .sf1 type (SB) and something called .ecw or something (Ensoniq).
Does anyone know anything about this second type of Soundfont? I don't know much about MIDI yet, but I was planning to use the SB Live! as described by Ethan Winer in his article "Striving for New Lows." I don't want to install this card if I'm gonna end up replacing it with the SB Live! At the same time, if there is enough support for this second type of Soundfont I could save myself a little money.
Any help would be very cool Thanks in advance!
