The CoolSoft midi synth is reputed to be the next best replacement for the old Yamaha XG100 which is no longer supported and does not work on windows 7.

I switched to MS wavetable synth and BiaB recorded and played back the full range of the keyboards pitch bend very smoothly, I also tried with a VSTi/DXi synth such as the Cakewalk TTS-1, and including the default Coyote Wavetable DXi, and both record and play back the full bend range nice and smooth, sooo, it looks like it's the CoolSoft synth that's not accepting pitch bend data, if that's the case, it's a pity, because the sound from that synth is better than the Coyote and the TTS-1 DXi synth, mainly because it uses sound fonts, such as the FluidR3_GM sound font, but other SF's can be used too.

I hate to loose it, but I haven't yet found a really decent midi synth that is comparable to the old Yamaha XG, not even the Roland comes close.


It is futile to become lachrymose at the accidental disgorgement of lactic fluid.
