Fine here too, but it really only makes that one bad piano sound anyway.

You can change the sound via the program change dropdown menus in a midiclip. But I havent found a system. Its very random wich sound you get.

i think this should help you with the patch names:

as far as it crashing, i dunno, ok here as well. But obviously i'm an os or two behind the OP. ---> oh wait, not necessarily, but probably.

Im afraid it doesnt. If anybody sees a system, please tell.

well, it works for me here, so you might be missing something. its the general midi patch list. furthermore, to get the gm drum kit, use sub bank 2 .

Well, I stand very corrected. With some effects, verb, compression, eq, those could be useable!

Thanks.

You`re right. Didnt work the last time I tried. Think I was on Live 6.01 and osx 10.4.8 then. But it works now.

Great stuff

yeah, i use it for sound fonts as well. I usually only use it when i'm doing sketches... super handy though.

anyway, sorry i can't help with the crash problem. that's odd.

Soundfonts you say... How do you add a new sondfont to the device then?

lesseeeee, i'm not at home right now, but it's something like this:

yer hardrive---> library ----> audio ----> uhhhhhhmm, sound banks? I think that's where it is. You drop your .sf2 in there and it wuill come up as a sound bank in dls music device.

i can confirm when i get home.

Nice. It was library/audio/sounds/banks.

Maybe you know what to do with .sfpack files? Placed one there but it didnt show up in DLS.

hd/library/audio/sounds/banks

drop your .sf2 there and you're good.
