Ok, here's yet another probably silly problem (maybe not) I just ran into. I'm working on a new project, my first whole album, which is a conceptual album that I'm dedicating a bunch of time into a want to end up with something very well done. So I want to "tune" every little detail the best that I can. In doing so, there's a song that uses a piano for most of the song. I have a rackmountable midi module (Roland MGS-64) but it's piano sound doesn't make me too happy. I have a SB card so I've been playing around with SF's and have found a couple of piano sounds that I find to be pretty cool; but still I wasn't happy. This piano has to sound VERY REAL... so as per Moskus, I found this great piano, I foget where he told me to download it from, but this SF2 is about 136 MB so my SB was crashing when I loaded it. I then thought, ok, I'll cough up the 50 bucks for Live Synth Pro (and little by little I'll find the SB to be less important in my studio).
So here's the deal, I downloaded the Live Synth upgrade installed it, loaded that big fat piano font, which sounds quite good... I don't know if I'm fully pleased just yet, and then I recorded a piano part, but when I play back, it appears to only be playing one octave... and the rest, even though it was recorded, doesn't sound... I thought it might be a problem with the sound font, not the live synth, so I tried another piano soundfont, and the same thing happened. I only get playback in one octave... but the other stuff is there... the very weird thing is that if I transpose the midi say, 2 octaves, I get playback on only 1 octave but now it's transposed 2 octaves higher.
Anybody care to give this problem a whack??!!!
