IHave you used a converter DP to HDMI, which cable, active / passive, or does your Display have a Display Port ? My LG has HDMI only thats why i am asking. My monitor has a Display Port. It also has an HDMI 2.0 input, so I could test it, but unfortunately I wasn't able to find any HDMI-DP adapters …

Hello! If you happen to be using Daniel K's drivers with Audigy 2 ZS under Windows XP, could you please check whether it offers "Sw Synth" MIDI out port in addition to Synth A & B? (See the attached picture) Thanks in advance!

I noticed that the SC-155 can change chorus and reverb values at will, depending on what the song requires. Not sure how that works when using soundfonts on a SBLive. Not at will - there are control change messages in midi files. SB Live! will respond to them when reverb and chorus are applied in …

Thank you. Nice ID3 tagging! The first song was composed by Louis Silvers. Apart from chorus on the piano in the concerto (probably enabled by the midi file) and uneven timing in the Star Wars track (likely a player issue), these renders are great. Real hardware is definitely a lot better than …

Hello, could you record the attached MIDIs on the SC-155? They sound nice with an SC-55 soundfont, but I wonder how much better a hardware Sound Canvas would be. Thanks in advance!

2. In my case, could be a useful solution a software wavetable and a MIDI to USB adapter? Yes, definitely. A MIDI keyboard + PC is a very useful and powerful combo. To play instruments in real time, you need a sound card with a hardware synthesizer or with an ASIO driver for software synths. Many …

@Falcosoft: Thanks. Attached below is 5.1 SPDIF output (as multichannel FLAC files) recorded from Audigy.
