Hi,
A lot of people are asking for something like this: http://www.irishmidifiles.ie/images/mixer.1.jpg
Is a midi mixer implemented in most new and old sequencers. Pitch bend range can be considered too but I think all those midi messages controls should have been implemented in Van Basco itself in the first place but I think is possible in VMS.
Also the volume and limiter issue is due to midi file itself volume levels and the fact that most midis found on the web are done on old soundfont banks like the Creative/EMU 4 or 8 mb and newer bigger SF2 have different volume levels, and other differences, like Timbres of Heaven or Fluid 3. But an optional midi "analyzer/compressor" can be implemented in VMS, somehow, that edits the midi file before playing it and lets you save it, but thats probably a lot of programming. I usually edit midi files in Cubase 5 in a track by track basis to acomplish balanced volume levels. Anyway most midi files are horribly mixed and have many performance issues. Not everyone is a midi pro musician.
In the meantime, VSM2 is very promising, changing SF2 in a fly is great, sometimes causing crashes but very few on some SF, big ones specially.
Other ideas: VSM2 as VSTi... Output to ASIO... VST FX loading as it is done in Synthfont... A Midi editor (Piano roll and notes) perhaps?... A good midi file section for the forum?
Thank you for your excellent work. Grazie
