I already figured out how it works, iti s not hard.
The only thing I can't figure out is how to make it emulate that MIDI Output ;<
I guess if it is released in 2008 it has some kind of support for Vista (I hope, i haven' read svn's changelog, too hueg).
 
I've tested the plugin with Win7 Pro x64 and it worked flawlessly. This to say that since 7 and Vista are around the same thing, it WILL work on Vista.
 
No, it doesn't. FF7 config says it cannot open the device for Soundfont MIDI (Creative AWE32/AWE64) to play test MIDI.
Yes, it "works" in game, but not like you say or do think. It plays it via General MIDI (fail safe mode? idk) coz I can't hear a difference between General MIDI output and Soundfont MIDI (Creative AWE32/AWE64) , but I can clearly hear the difference between Yamaha XG and General MIDI. The last one sounds a bit more close to FF7's PSFs (not alway tho, in some cases general MIDI beats it, like in battle music,or Fanfare), also, Yamaha XG has big delay/latency, dunno why and how to set it up/fix it.

Samples:
General MIDI
Soundfont MIDI (Creative AWE32/AWE64
Yamaha XG

You just didn't got the thing working properly I'm sure.
As soon as I get home (in around 1:30 from now) ill make a new thread and elaborate on everything you need to do.
It's quite simple, but not very straightforward (Next,Next,Next,Next wont get you there :P).

As promised here are the instructions to get Timidity++ to work: https://www.ff7catalog.com/threads/10206/
(please don't mind the post presentation, i just don't have enough time right now to make it all nice and fluffy)
 
You just stating the obvious things in that post, I'd set  up already Timidity on my system. I even browsed it's wiki/docs for while (google translate burns), found a way how can I emulate Soundblaster Audigy in Timidity player itself.

But, as I said, I wasn't able to find a way to emulate "Soundfont MIDI (Creative AWE32/AWE64)" output. And you said nothing of that.

Oh, don't worry, i didn't do it for you, I did it so everyone knows about this option.
 
Umm... well, ya'now, english is not my native language. I didn't plan to offend/insult you (sorry), just trying to say you were wrong when said:

The main point of my question in this thread was about Soundfont MIDI (Creative AWE32/AWE64) emulation. THAT would be really nice.
Ofc, I can just copy ff7's original SFs, but oh well... that's not exactly the same.

I think this is kinda on topic with this. And it is tech related (obesebear feel free to beat me if i was wrong)

But, just bought a Creative Titanium Fatal1ty. and was wondering if this will support the MIDI sound fonts in FF7.
 
Try and tell us? Tell me if it works so I'll tell you how to record things proprely ;P
 
It is possible to convert Soundfonts to DLS sets (sample packs used by the MS softsynth or some older soundcards) with Audio Compositor.
For those that have only standard MS synth,it sounds much better.
 
And the point?
There is none. The only thing that really matter is the ability to emulate that device I was talking about earlier.
Everything else - is a compromise (solution).
 
Okay! so i am back with news about the creative card!

Sounds a HELL of a lot better then the Microsoft default one. HOWEVER! there are still some sounds that sound off/odd to me (the end of battle for example)
 
Wonderful.
Now, can you choose a "Soundfont MIDI (Creative AWE32/AWE64)" output in FF7Config and try to check if it wotks?
If it does - record some in-game music with this tool please.
