I don't know if anyone can help but advice would be gratefully received.
I can download and listen to members' midi files, presumably "scored" properly, the different instruments sounding. I can also listen to finale orchestral files thanks to a freebie file-opener.
But when I compose (sequencer) with Microsoft midi instruments of which 16 are available, they all come out with the single sound of a piano. When I use the sequencer with VSTis or its integral sampler using wavs, the correct sounds emerge.
Looking at Control Panel/Sounds/ I see that I have "Microsoft GS Wavetable SW Synth" supposedly feeding a Roland Sound Canvas sample set.
My diagnosis is that I'm missing a midi mapper of some sort. Does this sound about right?
I looked on help and while I can understand the words individually (!), strung together, they're heavy weather. Whoever wrote the help might as well have written it in assembler for all the good it's doing! It might indeed be assembler but without the RH marginal comments!
If the lack of a mapper is the trouble, can anyone recommend where I get one? It has to be easy to install rather than free/cheap, and not affect future plans for Cubase (or something)/gigastudio (latter running on an independent computer).
Thanks.
