    I’m pretty sure that your soundblaster just loads a GM soundfont bank? Try using the SFZ+ plugin to load it instead. Sounds should be the same?

    Note tho that I’m just pulling this from memory, I can’t test this myself anymore.

    It took me a while to get around to trying this but you were right. I was able to locate the sound font, on my hard disk, that is loaded by my sound card (I did a search for *.sf2). Using SFZ+, I was able to load that sound font and use it in Podium.

    Thanks.

    For anyone else with the same problem looking for a solution, I’ve discovered I can do this:

    Create the DSK plugin as a multitimbral instance. In that way, multiple tracks can use the sounds from the plugin with only a single instance of the plugin present in podium. Although there is only 1 output in the mix, the plugins (DSK Overture and DSK Virtuoso for example) contain volume and pan controls for each layer. With only a single instance of each DSK plugin present, there seem to be no errors and no crashes when exiting podium.

    Thanks for the advice. Too bad about DSK plugins. I haven’t been playing around with them for long but I like the real instrument sounds. Piano, Strings, Flute. Things like that.

    Now that I know the limitations, I can be careful.

    Thanks, but what is it going to do for me? Is it going to provide me with a bunch of sounds and the ability to add more, or will it enable me to somehow make use of the sounds provided by my Soundblaster card?

    I’ve already downloaded various free drum VSTis, but none of them support the full range of general midi drum sounds. My Soundblaster card does. The VSTis all have the basics but they only support a small subset of the general midi drum sounds.

    I think one solution to my problem might be to connect the output of my sound card to the input of my sound card. Podium could output on midi port 10 and record from the audio in. I was just hoping there was some internal way to do that.
