Hi Mg
Sorry but I did not find the Prelude you mentioned about,the link referring to this thread instead to the piece.
There is a more direct way to use Composer and Synthfont by using the
VST version in Mini-host and a virtual cable.While playing Composer you can open the VST-Host combi and make changes in real time.without the necessity to export to midi first and switching forth and back to Composer and Synthfont stand alone.But be sure to start up the combi first before opening Composer.Chanches are that you already know about this all, besides me getting out of the scope of this thread.
I am not sure whether a new soundcard will matter much.It probably depends on how the( soft ) synth engine will handle complex soundfont banks and your complex compositions ( and available memory/CPU of course ).Maybe that´s why some full pro´s are still relying on hardware rather
than on soft synths.
BTW, I am still interested in the "pffft" fenomenon.
