In versions 2.x of VirtualMIDISynth, will it be possible to run multiple instances of the program? Allow me to explain the reason for wanting to do this.
I use an SB0350 sound card with the kX Project driver software which includes a software interface for custom DSP chip signal routing, and the software has a huge library of incredible audio effects that I use to enhance soundfont sounds (ex., soundfont has pure sawtooth wave sound, in DSP I add effects to create a brilliant synth pad) but I don't want effects for one instrument to be applied to every instrument. I have 3 available independent 2-channel wave output devices. If I had three instances of VMS running, one device can be for a few synth sounds, the other can be a guitar, run through a distortion effect and stereo-enhancement, the rest for other instruments. After independent audio processing the three channels may be mixed to stereo (2-channel) sound, or to look at it another way, 6-channel (3D positional) MIDI is enabled! The possibilities would be great.
Might latency or synchronization be a problem? Could VMS process the individual MIDI channels in a manner thet each can be set to any available audio output device?
- In the FAQ I read "SoundServer can easily serve more than one driver, so multiple devices can be implemented" - Does this answer me? Or am I not understanding the statement?
