Hi,
just recently I've noticed the fontinit button inside midiplayer configuration.
I've used this link to obtain some information
https://www.un4seen.com/doc/#bassmidi/BASS_MI … I_FontInit.html
On low resolution GBA Midi+SF2 music I've done some listening with ramping excluded and attack and decay lienar and curved to figure out if I can have some optimization.

What I could not find is an explanation for "alternative stereo panning" in that link, are there special case where is useful to use this settings?

Thank you.

Aldo

If I've understood in the right way, this will change nothing on mono SF2 and will change something only on SFZ.

To be honest I just listed all the available flags from BassMidi's header file. I have not tested all of them, and 'alternative stereo panning' is such an item 😀

Thank you for your answer. Recently... I don't remember exactly what version, when batch processing midi offline, I'm experiencing problems with windows GUI (I've windows 11 at 2k res), i can no more use the bar, clock stop working and usually I've to reset to work again. Maybe you could take a look.
Thank you.

I'm sorry, but I need exact reproducible steps. Your description is rather vague.
1. What version you used.
2. What kind of output you used.
3. If the output was VST what plugin(s) you used.
4. What settings you used.
5. etc.

I think you know what I mean.

I've this problem since 6.4. Now I?m using latest version, with 6.6 the same.
No audio output, I'm writing wav with batch. If I listen to everything is fine.
No VST, Just SF2 so BassMidi
I'm doing different batch with different fontinit and interpolation and resolution to make comparison but always the same: if I do a batch process (single or multiple file) with offline mode bass midi.
resolution of my pc, 2k, 2560*1440.

I suggest the following: Download the original 6.6 Bassmidi edition package and do not change anything else just the ones I show you in the test video:
https://falcosoft.hu/midiplayer_66_bse.zip
It is preconfigured by the included ini and Midi files so we do not have to find out what files, settings etc. you use.

Here is the test video:

Report back if anything behaves differently on your system.

HI,

Problem occur without per channel recordings too.

You should use the exact same package I linked above regardless what you already have on your system.
The package above uses its own settings and not your existing ones.
That is the important part since this way we can determine if with the exact same settings your system still produces the problem or not.
Just do exactly what I did in the video and report back.

Offline mode was introduced in version 6.5 😀
So we can you that you always had this problem with this feature.

Problems persist, I've done exactly the same.
Maybe it was 6.4 test as it was me to ask for single channel recordings 😀

Offline mode has nothing to do with single channel recordings. If I understand your problem properly it's not related to single channel recordings but to offline mode. And offline mode did not exist in version 6.4.
If was introduced with 6.5 test version here:
Re: Falcosoft Soundfont Midi Player + Munt VSTi + BassMidi VSTi

So to make things clear: Your problem happens only in offline mode or also when you use single channel recordings in online mode?
I'm asking since you said the problems happened since version 6.4 but as I said version 6.4 only knew single channel recordings but not offline mode.

BTW, offline mode can also be used without recording. It does not make much sense to use this mode for playback only but it works. And for testing you can try that offline mode itself is enough to trigger your problem or recording is also needed.

Anyway, I do not know how to help you since as you could see in my test video I could not reproduce such problems. I also repeated the test on my Win 11 installation and it worked perfectly. So the problem is specific to your system.
Do you have another PC or OS to test offline mode?
