Messagesoundfont is a very popular format, it can be played with a creative soundblaster or the live synth virtual synth. sometimes you can convert soundfont to gig or akai formats to any other. For example i had my esi 32 library from e mu and i converted it to soundfonts .. and they sound just the same. ----- Original Message ----- From: Kevin L.
