I've been a Synthfont registered user for about as long as I can remember. When Creative started getting squirrelly about soundfont support on their audio cards, I found Synthfont (both standalone and then later the VST) to fill that gap. Seems I got my first Synthfont back in Windows 98 days.

Hello Jim thanks for all your info. It seems that what you see if true for version 3.2 as per the website but BAIB ships with 3.112. This version is freeware.
I would like help on how to use it. I downloaded some mega soundfont files etc. do you have a link to where I can go to get info on how to use it, load it etc. I am going to the website of VSTSynthfont for help.
I downloaded a 4 GB file at this location that seems to have thousands of sounds but how does this relate to GM?
