Of course. There are some really nice soundfonts out there. And I can use aeolus with jack and timidity with kellner tuning to try, if something is sounding on a baroque organ.On Thu, 08 Aug 2013 12:06:36 +0200 Jan-Peter Voigt <address@hidden> wrote:If I import some musicXML the virtual instruments sound much better than the standard midi output of either timidity or mac-quicktime.Isn't this just a question of which soundfont is bundled? We distribute Denemo with a samll (5Mb) soundfont not to waste people's bandwidth when, if they care, they will use one of the many free sound fonts that suit their needs. For my own use I have a 100 Mb single harpsichord stop patched in, replacing the grand piano. Richard Shann
And I can use one of the many free soft synths. But I have to install it and prepare it to do this.If I use one of the apps I mentioned, it all is sounding out of the box - nice, like most things we hear nowadays in the radio.
The question is, if users are willing to invest that work. Cheers, Jan-Peter Voigt
