Hi Frank,
I know, we all deserted you.
I've still got all my soundfonts & software, ready to be reinstated. Unfortunately , currently I don't own a decent computer, my netbook I doubt is capable, & my old laptop & desktop are a bit too dodgy to waste the time loading everything back in, but they're too good to throw out. Can't convince hubby I need a 4th pc. haahaa

Bought a secondhand v machine recently, just have to try & work out how to get it back to factory standard. I'm hoping to maybe run soundfonts thru it, if I can work the darn thing out haahaa. Actually bought it as a vsti add on for my korg, but if it runs fonts, I could get back to my old Clavinova/Soundfont/Arranger setup.

Must admit I haven't checked softhsynths out & what's available in a couple of years or so.
We did have totally different goals though,
you are trying to build the best arranger you can, with really top quality soundsources,etc ,
I on the other hand was trying to put together a very inexpensive setup using soundfonts ( free & commercial), a setup that was very affordable, but could be built on if required.

Great to hear from you again Frank.

best wishes
Rikki
