so there is a soundfont that elten uses and it has some kind of like roland-esk sounds from like the sc55 or something. Or maybe its another sf2, but what sound font does elten use to play midi files?

Timbres of Heaven is what it's called.

never heard of that one actually

Click Edit on Virtual MIDI Synth When you select or change a soundFont and you can find the name of the Default font.

weight this thing relies on virtual midi synth? weight no I was talking about the file manager program. The soundfont I have in virtualmidisynth is currently the nokia chippy bank but I was going to switch to sony ericson to test those ringtones so...

You can put any sound font on virtual midi synth. Even the soundFont.sf2 files that you renamed will still work. But when you change the sound font SF2, when you press the edit button on virtual midi synth, you will still find the original name of the sound font.

About Elten's default sound font, Some of the sounds on this font combines Yamaha, Roland, Korg, And other companies. And others are original sounds that the sound font developer did with his own instruments.
