SynthFont?
SynthFont is a program for editing and playing midi files using various sound source files like SoundFonts, GigaSampler files, SFZ files and more. VST instruments can also be used instead of a sound source file. A midi file is different from - for instance - a MP3 file in that the file does not contain any audio data. The file is a collection of notes and instructions for how to play them. SynthFont combines this data with the audio data in a SoundFont to produce ("render") an audio version of the song.

What people say about SynthFont:
"Hi Kenneth, thanks for a great app and for making it free to give a proper try out. Keep up the great work! H.K."
"I've been writing big band charts for many years, even ran a big band for the past 10 years. Too much work though to keep it going. All my scores are done in the old original Encore notation program. I import the MIDI file (from Encore) into Synthfont and assign the correct SoundFont file to each track.Then I make a wav file, open my N-track program and bring in the wav file for editing and effects - then save the finished wav file and burn to CD. Incredible! Finally accomplished what I new I could could get done without a fancy studio. Who needs those musicians anyway. Thanks for the great program Ken! - P.R.S"
"I've only actually paid for shareware twice, and SynthFont is the second time. Great program and I haven't even used half of it's options yet. E.C."
"SynthFont is outstanding music software. It is exactly the solution I was looking for when it comes to converting MIDI files to .wav files. I tried Timidity but SynthFont works much better for me. Also, the technical support is excellent. I was happy to purchase a registration to support this product. I strongly recommend SynthFont. D.R."
"Love what you have done, my old Sound Blaster card died a while ago and I missed using my SoundFonts I designed! So thanks a bunch. M.B"
"Thank you for the perfect solution for my needs!! Such a nice recognition of Customer support too. A rare thing these days, sadly… S.K."
