The PCDLS...Project...Thingy.

I doubt it, unless you have updated drivers for your sound card as well.

The reason why the M$ DLS Synthesizer "acquires" the ability when you update to DX8 or later, is because its software, and its code ain't "written in stone"; its changable.

True "hardware DLS" may be impossible to add level2 support to if the hardware capability isn't already there.  Of course there's always the chance that it is and the drivers don't use it, but that could be another story....

Has anyone done anything with the DLS I posted? I'm probably going to continue exporting the rest of the GM2/GS/MT instruments (the other half)...

BTW, if someone can find a Rhythm or Ethnic Kit (Roland), that'd be great. I've already found an Asian Kit, and it's included in the DLS, but I can't seem to find the Rhythm and Ethnic Kits.

I did my uber-extensive testing, and I told you some of my results on AIM already. However, there were too many muted instruments to be conclusive. It sounds good though.

the drums that are there are AWESOME...but
as stated most other instrumentes are way too low

 

[NetHead]

I'm guessing you all mean that the volume level of the instruments is too low? Strange, it was causing distortion on my MS GS synth (which goes away when I switch to MS DLS)... Luckily that can be easily fixed.

BTW, you aren't using the default reverb, are you? That completely kills the DLS and makes it sound really bad.

im using Winamp to load the DLS with its nifty plugin

 

[NetHead]

Yeah, if I'm not mistaken that uses reverb by default (and makes it sound like the band's playing in a garage). Turn off reverb or go get DirectMusic Producer (free) and uses something like Concert Hall. I truly don't think it sounds as bad as described.

i turned off the reverb
its not that necessiarly, its some instruments are too low
