The problem is that no [wiki]soundfont[/wiki] is currently set up for playing MIDIs. The solution is to see the audio settings in Editor -> Preferences.

Xaser recommanded me to install WeedsGM3, and i think you should do the same thing.
Seriously, it's awesome.

YESSSSSSSSS. Aside from tiny quirks, it's my favorite. Although I'm still partial to Yamaha SYXG for general MIDI-ing, but I've never found a soundfont anywhere close to it.

Oh man, hornet's nest of ambiguity! The closest to how a MIDI is "meant to sound" would be the hardware it was composed on. Personally I test something that will be a MIDI on all 3 of my different devices to mkke sure it'll sound passable on all. (As much as I hate to listen to the MS Synth, it's the most universal. :blergh: )

Speaking of, why can't you still play MIDIs in SLADE without one? Used to be able to use your system's sounds for 'em.

Because that was a feature of Audiere, which is no longer used, and not of FluidSynth, which is. Look back a page or two for the exact reasons.

Is the Roland better than WeedsGM3? When I play DOS games, the Roland sounds better than Soundblaster. WeedsGM3 is more megabytes though.

It depends on wat you mean by "better". If what you want is more authentic sound, Weeds. If you want something small and "classic" sounding, use Roland.

There's no such thing as 'optimal performance' with soundfonts. Maybe outside of loading the soundfont for the first time. Which shouldn't be a problem for today's standard 7200 RPM HDD's.

Another good soundfont if one doesn't like Weeds is FluidR3_GM.

Read. The. Fooking. Manual.

If that doesn't strike your fancy, there's this. But I wouldn't recommend it, it's buggy.
