Hi Mike,
Yeah, Vienna won't work on your machine if you don't have a SB soundcard.
BUT Kenneth Rundt's "Viena" will
You can get it at his website too (
www.synthfont.com) and create your own banks.
You may want to be careful when you're doing that. The .mid format will support bank and patch number information, but the sound that other users will get will only be the same as yours IF they have the exact same setup. The GM standard instruments will apply otherwise.
In other words, if you create a soundfont with nothing but trumpets in the first five patches, you'll have great trumpet sound with those instruments, but if you export a .mid (or .not) for someone else who only has a GM device (eg. the ubiquitous GS Wavetable), then they'll hear various pianos where you hear trumpets. This is not a problem if you'll only be playing the files on your setup, but if you want to share files, you may want to be sure to put each instrument in its "GM" place/patch location.
Welcome to the wonderful world of soundfonts - they do absolutely rock
ttfn,
Sherry
