I love the PAN spread facility, which I use to put the bass to the left and the treble to the right, and give me a real stereo effect as the keyboard is played. Instead of someone splitting the hands to give two to four staves, and assigning PAN values to each stave, SynthFont assigns each individual KEY on the keyboard a value from left to right as if you were sitting right in front of the keyboard [or the opposite if you prefer to be sitting right behind the upright piano] and thus puts the sound for that key to the left to right according to its placement. No other software does that... I use it with a 200% spread as well, to increase the spread of the sound, and then use earphones. You can really hear the difference when you do that, whether it is simply to listen to the midi being played or to create a wav or wma or ogg or mp3 file for use elsewhere. Try it with almost any rag downloaded from the Perfessor Bill Edwards or the James Pitt-Payne web sites and you will immediately hear what I love about the use of PAN spread [unless the sound font you use already does that based on the specific key(s) pressed, which some do].

Hi,
I'm really pleased its installed and I can hear the lovely sound fonts when I click the 5 layers button. What confusing is that when I click to add a soundfont on my pc, it shows up on the screen, but when I playback its sounds all garbled. I opened in Windows media Player 9 and the old GM instruments are playing my saved midi which I've thought I'd already changed the track instruments for.
Please help.
Thanks

The software works well and has one feature that is very valuable for me: You can render a whole MIDI arrangement to .wav with each track its own .wav file. That saves me a lot of time. Before I had to go through a bunch of time consuming monkey motion to get that done; now it just take a mouseclick.

Very good!Try it!
