have you tried cakewalk tts, you already have it installed if you use sonar. it's not bad at all. try it and if you need something better you can use dimension pro or hypersonic. also there is live synth or sfz to play soundfonts. there are a lot of free soundfonts on the web or ask your friend to provide his soundfont library. ----- Original Message ----- From: Sarah To: ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Monday, April 02, 2007 11:23 AM Subject: [ddots-l] Re: something to render midis Sorry I'm new at these things. I've heard o fsoft synths but my computer only has a gig of ram and I'm running out of harddrive space so would a regular keyboard with usb capabalits do the trick? because I know of a friend who uses a regualrregular keyboard and then does something with what he calls soundfonts to add an extra touch to the pieces. It's beautiful, his work. Once again sorry for my ignerence. I'm a quick learner once I practice.
