Rich, I have been using XMplay for playback, since it's got the nice reverb button on there that makes a lot of things sound very good. Just not sure how to switch percussion on there. I have a soundfont for "orchestra battery" which should be pretty good, just, like I said, every time I load it up …

I should say as well that I really appreciate your weedsGM soundfont. It's a very good, very balanced font. We're a dying breed.

Well... VirtualMIDISynth worked! No crackles at all. Thanks a lot for the help. The only disadvantage I'll have is only one bank at my disposal (two banks are great for my purposes - using one strictly for games, and the other for composing.) Oh well, I'm happy with the result as is! Thanks again!

Sorry, I wasn't clear enough - I want an individual snare drum soundfont that I can load into the "gunshot" slot. Honestly the channel 10 drums thing has always been a mystery to me in that when I try to add drum soundfonts, they just dump onto the pianos at the top of the list.

Batch file method didn't work. I'll continue to play with the BASSMIDI settings, but it's definitely a disappointment if I can't get this to work right. Part of the fun is playing DOS games with fantastic-sounding music!

Thanks. It's a remix I composed of the "Killorn Keep" tune from Ultima Underworld 2. If I remember correctly, the base soundfont was Unison, but I built it up with a lot of individual soundfonts. Back in the day when I was limited to the ram on the soundblaster... : ) I guess I should add, I'm …

No improvement with the buffer settings maxed out and sync interpolation turned off... in fact, it got a bit worse, and skipped like a scratched CD from the 90s : ) About to try the batch file method.

Wasn't sure where to post this. Admins, feel free to move it if need be. I am getting back into composing after a big hiatus (5+ years). I used to have a great snare drum soundfont that was fantastic. Great sound on treble clef, and then if you dropped an octave it would do a snare roll in the same …

Hello, I have a problem. Bassmidi is installed with soundfonts, but when a midi plays, it's crackling like rice krispies. This happens whether I'm using playback on Noteworthy Composer or running a game in DosBox. I doubt the problem is my hardware, since I can run MIDIS through XMplay fine. What …

Yeah, I only have 512 mb. I'm really happy with the generaluser gs soundfont, though. I might mix and match between Unison and generaluser, since I really like the trumpet in unison.

The method Telordya suggested worked. Unfortunately I can't seem to figure out how much memory I'm able to use with the sound card. I tried loading SGM 180 and SGM 2.01 and they both seem to go beyond what's available memory-wise. I am currently using the Unison soundfont, though, so it sounds …

Hi, sorry if I'm retreading things in other threads, but I've looked through all the appropriate threads and haven't been able to fix things up. I want to be able to use soundfonts in dosbox with games like Ultima Underworld and System Shock, but I can't seem to get it working. I have a SBLive 5.1 …
