Take a look here: https://github.com/tebjan/Sanford.Multimedia.Midi and see if it works better than the original one.

 
Thanks very much for the tip. The new version works perfectly! :-)
 
I now have a different problem: I have a desktop program that uses the (C#) Sanford library, and a (Javascript) web application that runs inside Chrome. I'd like to use separate VMS instances in these two applications so that I can easily switch between them. Creating two instances of the VMS seems to be no problem -- just select two devices in options/device settings -- but I can't get VMS #2 to work. VMS #1 works, both in my desktop app and in Chrome, but VMS#2 is silent.
 
How can I get VMS #2 to work?

Soundfonts configuration can be set for each device separately.
Maybe you only forgot to enable at least one soundfont for the second one...

Yes, I somehow missed that. More precisely: The soundfonts configuration *must* be set for each device separately.

I set the popup for two devices after setting  #1's soundfont, and then assumed they'd both use the same settings.

My oversight, of course. But maybe there could/should be a prompt if one leaves a device without a soundfont? There is, after all, such a reminder when one installs VMS for the first time...

 

I just installed VMS 2 beta 6 on another machine, and again went through the steps necessary for setting up two devices.

1. installed VMS 2 beta 6
2. linked VMS#1 to a soundFont
3. selected two devices in the popup in Options/Device Settings
4. tried to link VMS#2 to a soundFont, but there was no button for #2 on the Options/SoundFonts  page
5. restarted VMS, found the button on the Options/SoundFonts  page,  and successfully linked VMS#2 to a SoundFont.

As I said in my previous post, there could be a reminder about setting the soundFont(s) for VMS#2 when VMS restarts.
But I'm also thinking that VMS#2 could, by default, simply inherit all VMS#1's settings, including the soundFont(s). That's what I originally assumed was going to happen...

Just brainstorming. :-)

Next beta will warn if any of the devices has an empty configuration.
Thanks for pointing it out.

Any updates?? It's been almost a month and we haven't received any news...

Sorry for the late reply.
I'm reorganizing and cleaning up things before the first RC release, that will be bublicly available to non-registered users too.
I've had no bug reporting last week(s) so I'm almost confident we've reached a stable point.

I'm going to publish it on VMS1 webpage, to give it the greatest visibility.
