Hi,
don't dash out & buy any soundfonts till you try some of the free ones.

Also check out as many posts as you can, ie some like the following.

If you want to use soundfonts you either require a soundfont compatible card or a software setup. ( my setup is in one of the posts below)

OMB v10 now hosts dxi's & vsti's.
One problem is the software I use for loading soundfonts ( Live Synth Pro) doesn't work correctly with omb's new dxi option ie it doesn't recognize program changes, so I've had to go back to one of my original soundfont setups.

Omb10 works fine with my Hyercanvas dxi, Roland GS VC3 dxi, http://www.pgmusic.com/products_misc.htm

it may also work with Coyote Forte DXI http://www.pgmusic.com/products_misc.htm
there is a demo to try before you buy, but unfortunately my time ran out before OMB vers 10 was introduced, so I couldn't try it.
The problem with the above dxi's is that psr styles use xg drum mapping wheras the above use GM/GS. Just means styles will need some degree of editing/tweaking which can be done in OMB. They'll need tweaking for soundfonts also.

There's also a link to a program called Synthfont , soundfont midi player, one way of trying some free soundfonts in midifiles before going to the expense of buying either a soundcard or software required to use soundfonts with OMB.

best wishes
Rikki
