finally, just to have a common soundfont in Kontakt is not really something for the ears of the Kontakt community, it was just a technical exercise hopping to overcome a long history of discussions about this. Kontakt's Group editor got quite stressed by some automated macrorecorder scripts (otherwise it wouldn't happen). I've done this exercise once with public domain GS soundfont and extended it with resampled XG sets to a GM/GM2/GS/XGLite bank with 632 instruments bank, loaded it on each slot. If you want to go further, let's say a GM/GM2/GS/XG(lite) configuration with 632 instruments per bank, than you could assign groups to MSB LSB (in the groups editor start on CC 0 and CC32 ). If you want to have it "automatically" loaded - any GM instrument on any Channel (except Ch 10 for drums) like a soundfont player - the only approach I found - is to configure an entire instruments bank (.nbk )with the 128 GM basic instruments, save it as template and reload it into channel 1-9 and 11-16 (channel 10 load a bank with drums). These are all just only 128 basic GM instrument sets, which you have then to configure yourself, channel by channel, for each song individually- no "load & play" as the soundfont community would expect - otherwise they would have much more attention for sure. The SFZ Player has been set up to respond to BIAB midi arrangements.I don't think that NI Bandstand did load automatically (like a soundfont player) - at least I've still installed Bandstand on one of my legacy Virtual machines - and I've to configure the channels and instruments before I'm able to play a GM midi file, same for the Vir.One or the Infinite Player GM set from esoundz for Kontakt. This will activate the matching drum bank to BIAB's GM drums. So select Channel 10 in the Channel box and set the BANK to 128. (NOTE: some soundfont players automatically make this arrangement). So to get this bank operating on channel 10, we must tell SFZ to use that bank.
The General Midi spec accommodates this by assigning a separate bank of sounds. The drum channel (10) is unique, since it must accommodate a large selection of different drum sounds all on one channel.
GENERAL MIDI PLAYER VST PATCH
Be sure to select the GM patch list in BIAB as the patch list to use. In this manner, BIAB keeps the instrument sounds that you have selected, matched to SFZ. When you select an instrument in BIAB, a program change will be sent on the specific channel to change the instrument sound in SFZ for that channel. Instruments will be assigned to each channel (1 - 16) in the SFZ player to match the patch (program #) assigned by BIAB. This will load the SF2 file into the SFZ player. Scroll through the soundfont files (*.sf2) and double-click your soundfont of choice. Maybe you just want some midi guitar for melody and a soundfont guitar sounds better than your existing synth. This might be acceptable if all tracks but one are RealTracks. You may use a non-GM soundfont but you need to be aware that the voices shown by BiaB will not necessarily match the voices in the soundfont. This soundfont must be a GM soundfont if you want to match the instruments that are available in BIAB. This will open up another navigation screen for selection of the soundfont of your choice. It now becomes the default plugin for responding to BIAB midi signals.Īdd VST/DXi Plugin Choose your soundfont Ĭlick in the File box in the RGC:Audio sfz window. This will load the SFZ plugin into Band In A Box. Navigate to your VST Plugin folder and double-click on the sfz.dll file.
GENERAL MIDI PLAYER VST DRIVER
Alternatively, Go to Opt|Midi Audio Driver Setup and click VST/DXi Synth Settings.Ĭlick on the plugin box and then scroll down and click on the Add VSTi Plugin entry, usually at the very bottom of the list of plugins. Open BIAB and Click on the DXi icon in BIAB. Usually, the larger the better in sound reproduced.
GENERAL MIDI PLAYER VST DOWNLOAD
There are many of these available for download on the internet. BIAB only allows a single plugin to be used at one time, so the Soundfont must contain all of the sounds for all 128 instruments found in the General Midi set. Next you will need a General Midi Soundfont file.
Unzip the sfz.dll file (the plugin) to your VST plugin folder. First you need to download the Cakewalk SFZ Player from Cakewalk.
