I tried using SFZ+ (sfz+.dll) as a VST Soundfont replacement for the DXi synth (now using CoyoteWT) in the following way:
In the Opt > MIDI Audio Driver Setup, click "VST/DXi Synth Settings" to open the "VST/DXi Synth Settings Dialog".
In the "VST/DXi/Plugins" window - drop down list, select "Add VSTi plugin" and choose SFZ+.
Then under "File" I chose my soundfont: MEGA25.sf2 - an older one I had but still sounds good.
There's NO midi sound whatsoever! I couldn't get the DXi version of SFZ+ to even load (sfz+DXi.dll). There's two SFZ+'s in the drop down list: "<VSTi> sfz+" and "rgc:audio sfz+" - I tried them both. Neither worked. If I go back to CoyoteWT everything works again.
The only thing that's different btwn the two that I can see, is that all the Channels are full with Programs in CoyoteWT but not in SFZ+ - where only Channel 1 has anything listed.
Am I doing something wrong? The wrong sf2 file? I don't even want to try another soundfont vst if I can't get this one to work. Please help me straighten this out.

Brad,
I've been using it for some time so it's all set up. SFZ+ is a little strange in that it doesn't work right at the start as a GM synth. You have to load the instruments one at a time and then save your setup for future recall. Open the panel and:
1. choose the MIDI channel number that corresponds to the midi channel # of the biab instrument.
2. Select the sondfont to use
3. Choose the patch.
Test it. Move to the next.I only use it for kick drum. If you are just using this with one soundfont set the SFZ is much easier. The nice thing about the SFZ+ is the ability to load individual soundfonts that are not part of a set. There are also some parameters that can be tweaked. It is weird though and never used it enough to get a 100% handle on it. If you get it going you'll figure it out.
BTW if you get an "out of memory error" it's not you. It's a known defect with SFZ+ that was never fixed. Change the Mode to PR32.
