Excellent
Well, no installer, just an extraction, so it takes. Dll, we copy the folder adns vst, roll my chicken. a note, and it's a very good point, a standalone version is included, convenient to play the piano or accordion soundfont live ... no manual (think save the web page RGC), the interface is basic, it's pretty clear, although I can imagine that a beginner can destabilize the ...
SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE
Well, it takes the ram, right, count three times the size of the soundfont, so actually, on small configs, to hang a bit. lower the quality is not much aid on my little machine, however, no big problems on my config. no doubt the software does it simply refuses to run if it is not enough ram, but I'm not in any case, this point is unclear.
it is also possible, even within a soundfont, assign different programs to different MIDI channels. nice and well seen. lack the possibility du'tiliser a sf per channel, but in my opinion, they keep it for the commercial version!
EDIT: one mode is now direct from disk, relieving much RAM and allow the loading of soundfonts enormous even on small machines!
OVERALL OPINION
Use for nearly two months, no problem, the quality depends on the quality of the soundfont of course, but the reader does not pose a problem, is transparent, and quite compatible with the different generations of soundfonts. the reduction of the quality a little influence on the CPU load, and loss of quality depending on the setting is not obvious.
I think a very good player soundfonts, which is playing with some basic parameters, but who does it well. for the price (lol), no hesitation, to provide access to a plethora of free sf available on the web. Just a caveat for small configs ....
