So, I downloaded the demo of this program yesterday.
As a standalone program, the sounds are very cool. I like the fact that those of us who can't/don't program synths can still load sysex banks to get a variety of sounds.
But, I'm confused as to what I can actually use it for. I mean, the program's latency is way too high for me to use it as a virtual keyboard in real time, so that's out. But, my understanding was that in DirectX mode, I could link FM7 to a midi track in a program like Cakewalk (I use PA9). That way, instead of playing back through your hardware/soundfont, you hear the FM7 instead. But in Cakewalk, I'm seeing no sign of FM7 whatsoever.
Am I on the wrong track here? I mean, if I can't link FM7 to my other projects, it's completely useless to me except as a toy. Somebody show me the light!
