Metronome volume changing

I got CoolSoft working and noticed the delay between the two synthesizers, so I moved the voices to CoolSoft and everything appears fine. I may play around with different sound fonts to fine what I like.

I see that reducing the speed to 60bpm fixes the problem with the MS Synth. How do I change the metronome track from monophonic to polyphonic? I see no such option in Notation.

I'm pretty sure that's a device issue (ie one of the GS Wavetable's "personality quirks") rather than a global MIDI issue (or setting capability in ours or other software). As mentioned, I played the file on my system using SynthFont VSTi, and didn't have any problem. Neither did David J using a different synth.

I am all happy now. To summarize, the problem was with playing the metronome track faster than Microsoft GS Wavetable Synth could keep up with. Switching to Coolsoft's VirtualMIDISynth resolved the problem. I have been moving all of my track to that device as I open my various Notation files. Thanx for the help!

Hi Blane,

Glad you were able to get it all sorted!

David J is a master at things MIDI related (he runs Barn Door Productions "Full Circle Theatre" which does a lot of musicals, and he is the arranger/composer/sound source) and always has excellent advice. Herbert does extensive composing/arranging for sound track production, and is obviously another master Tag team, they're unbeatable

I am really thankful for all you guys who help make our musicians' community so helpful!

ttfn,
Sherry

Aw, shucks! (Scuffing toe in dirt.)

Hi friends,


I'm adding the information to all SynthFont related posts that with the Notation Software Synth, as well as the advanced audio capabilities of version 5 and going forward, there is no need to use SynthFont with our software as our synth is actually more flexible and handles more than SynthFont does.
