Version 3 is not free but you can try it out for free for 15 days. Small price to pay for a lifetime license.

The license is around $17 and it good for BOTH programs.

Like it says on the website.

'All my software is freeware - except for SynthFont2 and VSTSynthFont Version 3. The license you get by donating is valid for both items - get 2 for 1!'

Ok, I see that now.. I just thought is was free, since it come with BB... And in BB that screen has not come up, yet.. But perhaps it will...;) PG-Music should include it in the price, imo, since most user use a DAW beside BB, I guess..;)

I suppose PG pays a fee so we get it for free, it's $18 to buy.
You could pipe it to BB with LoopMidi.

I think PGMusic licenses it for use with BiaB only.

I can't get it to load in RealBand either here and get the same popup.
I have other font players so not that big of a deal.


I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome

Thanks,

Is there any other one that I can use in Biab that will do the same thing as Vstsynth64 that will also load soundfonts and able to be used as default synth?

I have done a search but can find nothing.

Wow thank you Pipeline, must try that, just thinking what you don't know about biab is probably not worth knowing such is you knowledge.

Thanks so much for all the help you have given me and others on here, really appreciated.
