I would rather see PG spend their resources improving their products than to become a softsynth producer. Maybe they could team up with a beter sounding GM softsynth and have it included with BiaB and RB, but that could increase costs. Maybe we could purchase better sounding softsynths to get better sounding mixes.

I have yet to find a GM softsynth that sounds acceptable through out the 128 patches. A couple of sounds maybe but not the whole set. A few years I did assemble a fairly decent Creative soundfont GM set using free and purchased SF2s. That still can be done. There are some GM softsynths out there that supposedly will yield good sounds. Personally I use TTS as my GM softsynth in BiaB but I rarely use GM in my final songs as I have purchased far better individual sounding softsynths and patches. There are some good free ones here: http://www.hitsquad.com/smm/

One final note, the better the sounds the more money they will cost.

PS – I do agree with you on the more midi styles request.


I got myself a seniors' GPS. Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination , it tells me why I wanted to go there.
