Adding acoustic guitar (steel) to MIDI

[David Landt]

Trevor, I installed CoolSoft VirtualMIDISynth and the font bank you
mentioned.  After setting the CoolSoft as the default synthesizer in
Frescobaldi, I did notice a difference in the sound of various instruments
when compared with Microsoft GS Wavetable Synth, which is my OS's default
synthesizer.  You and Abraham are correct about the not-so-good quality of
the Microsoft default synthesizer.

The reason I kept hearing an unmistakable piano sound is channel 1 of the
MIDI player was playing a grand piano chord at just the beginning of every
measure, over the acoustic guitar sound playing on channel 2.  I simply
turned off the channel 1 piano sound using the displayed MIDI mixer, a
feature CoolSoft allows the user to enable.  The following attached images
should reinforce what it is I am describing:  MIDI_synth_on_Frescobaldi.jpg

The users of this forum greatly helped me to solve a problem I was trying to
solve on my own for over five days.
