Hi Lorenz. Sorry for misleading you into thinking you could load soundfonts onto the Vivanco card. My Audigy2 soundblaster was quite expensive, about £80 UK, but uses the emu10k1 driver, so there is no problem loading soundfonts. There are some quite cheap Audigy cards, but you need to make sure that the one you buy uses, or is able to use, the emu10k1 driver so as to be able to load soundfonts. Perhaps someone on the list would suggest one of the cheaper cards that uses EMU. Nigel. > > > ------------------------------------------------------- > This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
