Thanks, I'll use these in D2X-XL when you're all done.  Looking forward to hearing what you make of D2_02 and D2_03 especially.

Do you use a soundfont to render the midis?  If so where can I get it?  I might want to use it in some of my music (I now have the DSK sf2 player working with FL Studio).  I especially like the "echoes" instrument (e.g. in D1 game03 and D1 game13).

BTW - some nice guitars in this (credits) mix.

This is live hardware MIDI playback on an SB Live card with Silverspring Soundfont.

The echoes are really a "sizzly vox" instrument...

Silverspring is in a bit messy state ATM, but you can use it for separate instruments or just get the separate instruments...

Where can I get it?  I don't really care how messy it is, I'd just be opening it for single instruments in a soundfont player VST.

Off the hard drive here :-)

Do you have SFArk (http://www.melodymachine.com/sfark.htm)? Get it, SS is compressed with that. Current version must be 1.7, something like that...

There're some other special instruments, like the stiffish Moog Bass (on programme 38, Synth Bass 1), PNS QS-300 Saw Wave, etc. which aren't part of Silverspring.

Some extra stuff which isn't part of Silverspring...

Moog Mini V Bass (http://s-chapel.audiophileroom.com/Instruments/38%20-%20Moog%20Bass.sf2) - it's a bit different from the stiffy in most mixes, but it's sampled off a "real" virtual emulation Moog Mini V.

QS-300 Dance Saw (http://s-chapel.audiophileroom.com/Instruments/81%20-%20QS-300%20Dance%20Saw.sf2) - this is the one in most mixes, from Pink Noise Studio, and no longer up for download on their site.

Sine/Saw Warm Pad (http://s-chapel.audiophileroom.com/Instruments/89%20-%20Sine-Saw%20Warm%20Pad.sfark).

The "Stiffy" Moog Bass (http://s-chapel.audiophileroom.com/Instruments/Moogbass-stiff.sf2), this is set to programme 38, Synthesised Bass 1. It's the one playing most everywhere.

Metasaw (http://s-chapel.audiophileroom.com/Instruments/81%20-%20Metasaw.sf2), an experimental flanged/reverberated saw wave lead.

The Synthesised Drum (http://s-chapel.audiophileroom.com/Instruments/ASP-ECW-SD.sf2), which is just a copy of the one in the main bank, but it's small and nice to have anyway...

Sweeping Smoker Pad (http://s-chapel.audiophileroom.com/Instruments/95%20-%20Sweeping%20Smoker%20pad.sf2), which is a combination of Black Smoker and default Sweep Pad.
