Titolo: MEMORIA SOUNDFONT

Esiste qualche modo per aumentare la memoria che Soundfont mette a
disposizione per le banche midi?

Quella varia in funzione della RAM di sistema.
Puoi arrivare al massimo al 50% della ram.
I ne ho 256Mb e posso aumentarla a 128Mb.
L'unica soluzione è aumentarla.

scusate l'ignoranza, ma a che serve aumentare questa memoria?
ho una live! 1024, ma non l'ho mai sfruttata.
ciao e grazie!!

Perché normalmente non ne hai bisogno.... in ogni caso i Soundfont migliori
hanno bisogno di più memoria!
Del resto anche i file wav (il principio è uguale) registrati in qualità CD
(16 bit e 44100 Hz) hanno bisogno del doppio di memoria rispetto a quelli
registrati a qualità radio (16bit 22050 Hz)

Se non usi i soundfont (e quindi il MIDI per fare musica) a nulla.
Imposta il soundfont piů piccolo (2 mega) e regola al minimo
l'uso della memoria. I soundfont piů grossi hanno suoni migliori
e dei strumenti in piů.

Prova MEGAFONT, cache DINAMICA (cioe' carica e scarica i sounfonts a
seconda dell'uso nel file MIDI in esecuzione)
http://lastnight.newmail.ru/mf.htm

http://lastnight.newmail.ru/index.htm
Megafont is a program created for dynamically managing, loading and
unloading SoundFont files on Creative SBLive! cards. I.e. it's a
dynamic cache manager for SBLive!. 
Look at "AudioHQ/SoundFont/Options/SoundFont cache". There is only one
choice here: "Static caching". Now there exists an alternative way. 
The main feature of megafont is an ability to simultaneously use large
collections of SoundFonts without (again and again) making any changes
in the SoundFont section of the AudioHQ. And it's especially useful
when the size of collection and/or separate files (but not presets!)
is far above the half of total system memory (which is the maximal
configurable size of static cache with Creative drivers). 
The second most usable feature of megafont is that it allows to qickly
create SoundFont files from existing SoundFont and .wav files.
Everything written here concerns not only SBLive! but the EMU APS
cards too. 
Why do you need it? 
Example One 
So, you have SBLive!, 40Mb GM/GS SoundFont and 64Mb of RAM. Naturally,
you can't use this bank with "Static caching" ( 64/2=32, 32<40 :). But
you can if you are using megafont. 
Example Two 
Well, you get some money and upgrade to 96Mb of RAM. But still, you
have 700Mb of your favorite SoundFonts on your hard disk. You want to
run your favorite sequencer and try 'em all in your new song. With
"Static caching" you should load/unload them thru the control panel.
Like a some sort of "SoundFont DJ" :). It's like working on  a PC
without a HDD. Such a mess. But you can instantly choose any of your
SFonts in your sequencer and hear any of them without switching
between applications if you are using megafont. 
Example Three 
Suppose you have a Pentium II-300 and 64Mb of RAM with 30Mb GM/GS
SoundFont loaded. Thus your PII will has only ~30Mb free and sometimes
it feels like on 486. Therefore you forced to use a slightly imperfect
8Mb GM bank when you work with some memory consuming programs. But
there is a way to store in memory only the currently used presets,
i.e. if some of MIDI channels are currently using them. And don't
store anything when you are not listening to anything. Automatically.
Only if you are using megafont. 
Example Four 
So, you don't have SBLive! or you have no need for dynamic fonts
caching but you would like to create SoundFont file from several
sources, including .wav files. Or otherwise you want to quickly split
existing SoundFont into separate presets. Thought of making it thru
Vienna makes you sick since one have to make a thousand of mouse moves
to finish such kind of task. With megafont you can handle those
problems much faster and simplier. 
Et cetera... 
Features
•   Dynamic preset caching, i.e. "on demand" preset loading and
automatic unloading of oldest unused presets when they remains unused
too long, or it's necessary to free memory for another preset;  
•   Presets can be mapped to bank number, program number and name
which are different from such parameters in the SoundFont file;  
•   128 * 128 simultaneously loaded melodic presets + 128 drum presets
(if they fit in memory together), if they don't fit they're still
avaliable for instant loading when needed;  
•   Overriding of a maximal memory size stated with AudioHQ (1/2 of
RAM maximum) up to the whole RAM size;  
•   SoundFont files v2.0, v2.1 and .wav files support;  
•   When using with sequencer latency after the first one Bank
Select/Program change for average size preset - aprox. 0.1 .. 1 sec
(if SoundFont is on the hard drive); subsequent calls are faster,
simultaneous calls may be slower.  
•   Winamp support for playing MIDI files with pre-caching of needed
presets for every song played;  
•   SoundFont Device interface support for exporting preset names;  
•   Sequencer integration (patch list export): 
Cubase ( Studio Module drivers (.DEV), tested with Cubase Audio VST
3.553, compiled with DMaker v1.00; SoundFont Device interface in
Cubase v3.7 and higher, works in real-time ) 
Cakewalk ( instrument definition files (.INS) and SoundFont Device
interface, tested with Cakewalk Pro Audio 9.0 ) 
Logic ( copying all names in bank thru clipboard, tested with Logic
Audio Platinum v4.0 ) 
Massiva (.mxp files), tested with Massiva x0.58 
Evolution (.pls files), tested with Evolution Sound Studio Pro v1.02 
Encore (.ini files), tested with Passport Designs Encore v4.2.1 
Quartz (.set files), tested with Quartz Audio Master Professional v4.6
Eval  
System requirements
•   Windows'98, Windows 2000/NT;  
•   SFEDT32.DLL for creating SoundFont files. This is not necessary
for other megafont features;  
•   SBLive!/LiveWare for stable work or SBLive!/APSLive drivers or
true EMU APS card for not so stable work;  
•   You need some MIDI loopback to redirect sequencer's MIDI OUTs to
megafont. This can be Hubi's LoopBack device (Windows 95/98) or MIDI
Yoke Junction (Windows'95/98 and NT/2000) or whatever  you like. You
can find them at the MAZ Sound Tools page in section Tools/Misc.

Per caricare nuovi SoundFont, cioč nuovi suoni da usare pilotandoli via MIDI

Non è la stessa cosa che fa Cakewalk??
