Whyyyyy meSage of the Wise... you are the thread creator now
The original topic was something like this :
Not really the original wrote:Soundfonts can completely change the sound of The Way's midi music...
Although only some soundcards support soundfonts out of the box, like some Creative soundcards.
Here's an example of the difference they make in Brave Soul (another MIDI based game) -
Here's what the game sounded like on my soundcard before switching a soundfont (not bad) :
Example 1 -
Example 2 -
Example 3Here's the PersonalCopy soundfont I used when I first played this game (and The Way) (nice) :
Example 1 -
Example 2 -
Example 3And here's what it sounded like after I personally mixed and matched the soundfonts (my fav) :
Example 1 -
Example 2 -
Example 3The best free soundfont I found so far, and the one I used for my journey along The Way :
PersonalCopy v5r2What is your favorite soundfont to use with The Way?
@Sage Of The Wise -
I've never seen the piano glitch, or a out of tune problem happen; although once the midi stopped playing until I restarted the game. Maybe it depends on your drivers/system/hardware setup...
PS - I e-mailed/PMed you on another forum... feel free to disregard that! It was about how I couldn't logon and couldn't find a way to register/contact anyone on the forum... Since I started editing some The Way songs, I didn't want to be kicked out yet...
@EmperorJeramyu - I hadn't heard about that Direct MIDI to MP3 converter... Although I had a similar software program called WinGroove ages ago. This was back when 56k was fast...
I wonder if the Yamaha S-YXG50 softsynth can load sf2 soundfont files? But, only XP? I wonder if there are other programs like that out there...
Replacing the music with huge wav versions, you did that too? I actually started to replace a few songs with WAVs too, since I was editing the music a little bit...
I will post the results on these songs sometime~!
I've only done Tower and AReflectiveSky so far...
