Any chance of having more than 16 Midi Channels to play with?

Some music (Using SB Audigy Midi player) has up to 40 different parts, with little chance of "sharing" a channel

Cheers

Click the Player Panel player display and choose "Create New MIDI Player".

You can create as many MIDI Players as you want!

When using the Audigy as a midi player, there are problems if two or more players share the same Midi channel using different patches. In fact, my machine actually reboots.
The audigy supports two midi synths (sharing the same I/O port) but even then, if the synth share the same midi channel, problems occur.
So, in effect, I'm limited to 16 players in this case.

Cheers.

One MIDI Port can only have 16 MIDI Channels by definition. Are you saying your Audigy has two MIDI Ports but crashes if you try to use both at once?

The Audigy has two Separate Midi Synths, called Synth A and Synth B. I don't know if you can call them ports, as such. They share the same physical IO Port address, using a single sound processor. The processors itself is a 64-voice hardware wavetable syntheser, 32 voices on each of the two "Synths"
Each Synth has its own set of Banks, and can have different sound fonts loaded.

And yes, the system crashed (rebooted itself) while playing a piece with both synths in use.

I have a feeling, though, that it may have something to do with the sound fonts themselves. I have loaded the same sound font file into the two synths. I'll play some more and see what happens.

Yeah, they count as ports. If it's only when the Audigy has the same patch loaded into both Synths, I think it's mostly likely a problem on the Audigy. Weird, though! Get SFZ (as > DiGiT < says) and load multiple instances. They'll share samples (even inside Soundfonts), so you can have lots of players even though SFZ itself isn't multitimbral.

I Downloaded SFZ and tried it out. Seems to work OK.
BTW, SFZ does seem to be multitimbral.
Many Thanks for that link DiGiT 8)
