Nope, you have to use Dosbox to make use of soundfonts. The windows command.com will load the ecw synth file.

I'm not sure about the question, but I'm almost certain that an SB0060 isn't going to do a thing with ECW files.

Now that I think about it, what Stretch said sounds familiar. Doesn't the Live! (as well as earlier Ensoniq PCI cards) access the DEFAULT.ECW file for its patch set for GM in DOS? IIRC, there are 2MB, 4MB, and 8MB versions of the set.

Ah, my mistake.

The ".ecw" file format (Ensoniq Concert Wavetable) was never made open as had been hoped for by enthusiasts.[1] Consequently, there are very few custom wave sets available, in contrast to the huge availability of home-made releases in E-mu's SoundFont format. It was particularly unfortunate because the AudioPCI used system RAM for patch set storage which in itself offers tremendous potential for new patch sets over the traditional ROM storage previously used. It is also disappointing considering the incredible popularity and longevity of the Ensoniq ES1370 chipset and its descendants, some of which were still in use six years after the original AudioPCI board, and the fact that DOS drivers for the far newer Sound Blaster Audigy still use ".ecw" wave sets. These newer cards are unable to use SoundFonts in DOS, limiting them to the three official .ecw wavesets from the late '90s and one incomplete unofficial waveset.[2]
