Subject: [OT]Re: Great Quailty Soundfonts!

Sascha, et al., I took your advice and tried the Bismark bs-1. It worked fine, except some large GM banks didn't play back correctly. It might be defective banks or memory issues, or ? Anyway, I went to K-v-R to get some opinions, and one reviewer said that VSamp was better for Soundfont playback. But when I looked at the specs, it looked as if VSamp loads Soundfonts but doesn't reproduce filter settings (similar problem to EXS). Is this the difference between bs-1 and VSamp? Regards, Kevin
