Yeah. Choppy as hell, but I suppose it could be a problem with my computer's specs (although I allotted a couple hundred megabytes of RAM for this program alone...).
 
No this is not your problem.  In playback this program doesn't need a realy powerful machine. If you want to playback in sythfont you must set the Playback buffer to One large circular buffer (in the Synth Engine tab of the setup).  But when you want to start the realtime(input) you got to change it to Several small buffer.
 
This is so weird.

I can get the midi that you packed this archive with (the ff6 theme) to play pretty good...at first. After a while, it begins to get crackly and choppy, but it comes and goes. This is in SynthFont playback. When I go to do input with my FF7, it doesn't even start off good. It's crackly and terrible all throughout.

EDIT: Wait. I can get it to play PERFECTLY in the SynthFont. Now, how do I get it to play perfectly in input mode?

If you read my lastest post you have the answers.  Also set the total length to the max. set the main output to the lower that you can(I mean the lower that you can hear).  The rest of the setup doesn't realy matter.  But synthfont is still in developpement and the input mode is note fully developed, I mean it works fine but more option will be eventualy added and I think it'll be faster because for now you got to have a good computer to run it in realtime.
 
Hey ppl,  I found a new host so the page with the simples is now online and the Soundfont pack will download faster !!!

I dicided to compress it in Rar instead of Zip ... so it's smaller.

Well see you all!
 
Well ... did u use the setting I've said in the readme because there is a specific way to setup synthfont so it work properly in realtime.  For exemple the too fast problem may be that you have to set the playback buffer to One large circular buffer.  You have to set it to Several small buffer of 1024 that's the better way if you have a good machine.  You can raise the samples/buffer if you have some problem but keep in mind that more you rise it more you will have some slowdown in the music.

Hpe this will help!

Thanks for your help, but i think ill continue playing with FFmusic and the minipsfs.
 
It's your choice.  I admit that it's a little hard to setup and it's still in beta version but, concerning the looping you'll get better result with this and you gonna have all the Final fantasy original music but in better quality.  Maybe if you explain a little more the problem you are got I could help you more with this.  But as I said it's your choice if you don't want to use it ... but if I succed to help you maybe it will help other that got the same problem
 
Well, if you got a good machine it will work fine even if it's beta.  It's just that the program is not finished yet and the input mode is a little slow.  If I say it's beta it's just because I didn't tested it ingame with all the ff7 music... but I tested them with the input and it was working fine so it's suppose to work ingame too.  If you use the proper setting and you have a good machine it's suppose to work fine.
 
Eh...for me, if the input part of SynthFont ever becomes less resource-intensive, then I may make another attempt at this (or if I upgrade my computer).
 
Okey, I'll see what I can do about it ... I've already contacted the programer of Synthfont and he said he'll think about some option ... I don't know how long it'll take though... By the time he gives me news I'll try to find another softsyth that would be better.  But as I said in the other post this project is ready if you have a good computer.  I have a P4 3ghz with 1024 ram so if your system match with it I'm sure that it will work fine if you follow the ReadMe.  Maybe it can work with a less powerfull computer but I didn't test it with any other computer so I don't realy know.

Hey zero88  and Christian could you give me the spec of your computer please (just the CPU and Memory the rest doesn't realy matter) ?  I'd be able to make a more specific system requirement.

Well see you!  I hope I'll find a solution for the resource-intensive problem soon.
 
This computer that I use, it's only a PIII 500 mhz, 384MB RAM. I can use a better computer for it, though, but for all intents and purposes with this game, a computer that's even as good or bad as mine should be able to run this good.
 
Thanks for the spec zero88.

I found another softsyth and I'm testing it now.  I'll let you know if it's better.

See you
 
Hey storm how goes the never ending modding, I wanted to ask on the next Stormmedia Final Fantasy Sound (SFFS) could you upload it to a non commercial site I don't know any. :-( it's just that my internet gives me hassles on those servers)

In the NPC-RP topic there is a guy saying that if you need somewhere to store files he can help anyway I would love to try it but I got problems. :x

Cya!
 
Well ... I don't thing he meant to host a 200mo file ... I didn't know that my server had a problem though.  You are the first to tell me that.  I'll see what I can do.
 
OK; i tried it again, and the result is the same. I did what you said in the readME and got this result:

Okey well thanks for trying hehe.  Well I found another softsynth now.  I have some trouble to compile it though... it's open source and the documentation on this site is not realy good for windows user.  Well I'll make a new update once I got it to work.

Yeeeaaahh, 200mb is a bit much =)
 
So, since i´m not the absolutley genoius here, this makes the music that you have modified to replace the old ones? In that case, good :). And if you are you intressted, i have a suggestion of some more musicfiles to be modified. These are: J-E-N-O-V-A, Those chosen by the planet (Sephiroths main theme which loses all its feeling it had in the PS veresion in the PC veresion), Turks theme, The great norhtern cave, and well thats it :)

Hope you continue keeping this project active, since i cant get Ficudelas patch to fix some annoying issues. Great work ^^
