If you want to use already made stuff, then Id do a Google search for Animal Soundfont.Jan 7, 2017 - MIDI files played with the Media Player (MPLAYER.EXE) application supplied with Windows 3.1 are played according to the configuration of the current MIDI setup, NOT the current value of the patch maps or key maps that appear in the Names box.
Microsoft Midi Mapper Software Is FiledThis MIDI synthesizer software is filed under: VirtualMIDISynth Download; Freeware Drivers; Software Reviews; Major release: VirtualMIDISynth 2.3. Compatibility with this MIDI synthesizer software may vary, but will generally run fine under Microsoft Windows 10, 8, 8.1, 7, Vista and XP on either a 32-bit or 64-bit setup. For those that might remember, my old computer system had a melt-down of sorts and I had to get a. Microsoft Midi Mapper Windows 7 ProSP1 64This new system has Windows 7 ProSP1 64-bit and has a Audio chipset in it. Regular MP3s and other digital music formats sound fine on it but files sounded like crap for the most part compared to my old system. I do still have the Sound Blaster X-Fi Elite Pro that was in my old system; however, I just never felt like going through the effort of trying to get it to work in this system due to its age and probably limited support in Windows 7 64-bit. Anyway, I knew the problem wasnt so much the audio chipset (well, yes, it does have an impact) but the lack luster MIDI instrument samples that ship with Windows 7 which the included Microsoft GS Wavetable Synth uses. So I thought I would try it out and, what do you know, it works great I was even able to load the that my Sound Blaster X-Fi Elite Pro was using. Anyway, since my website uses Windows Media Player to play its MIDI files with, I did need to use this software to change MIDI Mappers Default MIDI Out Device from Microsoft GS Wavetable Synth to CoolSoft VirtualMIDISynth: Then, I loaded up the Soundfont my old card was using in the Soundfonts tab: While it doesnt sound exactly like it did before (due to the differences in audio hardware and drivers), it is now much closer because it is using better base sound samples to work with. MIDI files can sound much different simply by changing the Soundfonts used. I tried a few of the ones linked to at those sites and some of them arent too bad. Microsoft Midi Mapper .Exe Process UsesShort of getting a new sound card that puts more emphasis on how MIDI sounds, this is a good compromise, and its free LOL Oh, for those using Firefox, the amount of memory that the associated plugin-container.exe process uses while playing a MIDI file will roughly match the size of the Soundfont(s) selected as it has to load them into memory. For those like me that also use, since the default device has now been changed for all of Windows, it will start playing MIDI files using the improved instrument sounds as well. ![]() Why it doesnt list VirtualMIDISynth specifically I do not know. Just for the heck of it, I swapped out Winamps current MIDI plug-in with a really old one that supported auto-loading Soundfonts. Its device listing is somewhat different and lists VirtualMIDISynth by name: I tried the auto-load Soundfont option that this plug-in has for MIDI files that use a specific Soundfont; however, it didnt work. Pretty sure that option only works with Sound Blasters (this did work in my old system). Anyway, Im still playing with different Soundfonts to get the best sound. Now I need to install a virtual MIDI keyboard so I can play specific instruments. Im just looking at VSTs and GuitarPros RSEs are these at all related to the MIDI device point above Also, I want to try and map a sound to a virtual instrument, and use a score to perform the number. ![]() Post author If I understand you correctly, you want to hit keys on a piano, guitar or whatever as the MIDI input device (or just by playing a regular MIDI file) and have it played using cat sounds or something instead of pianos and violins or whatever.
