Where are General MIDI Sounds?

[The Elf]

The Windows GM instrument is present in Win10 - when I import MIDI files into Cubase on Win10 it defaults to it.

Just my 2p'oth... in Samplitude Pro X3 (and 3 other Sam versions I have) you hit 'Y' and a connections menu comes up and you can set Audio tracks and MIDI to Wavetable Synth if you want to.

This obtains for W7 and W10. As Elf says WtS does not sound good and the latency is 'note next week' bu you get a noise.

Hello. I've got some MIDI files of musical examples that were created for-and-using General MIDI sounds... the cheap tones that sound when you play them in (e.g.) Windows Media Player through most built in PC soundcards such as RealTek or Soundblaster.

When I play files though my external Audio Interface, I hear nothing... so does that mean the sounds are stored on these soundcards and not on the Windows disk?

I really need to hear these examples as they were created (for General MIDI sounds) so I know what the intentions were. Are there any (free) players that have these sounds built in that I can simply download and install? Maybe I'm misunderstanding something?

I'd like a quick GM player so I can audition them. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

Much appreciated. At the point when I designed my Audio Interface, maybe the GM synth is naturally incapacitated at that point. I truly would prefer not to utilize my DAW since it 'unfurls' the perplexing MIDI document into all the parts and controllers.

I import MIDI records into Cubase on Win10 it defaults to it.

GarageBand will perceive General MIDI program changes, so utilizing standard midi documents is surprisingly better than previously. Here is the guide on that. Cheers! https://garagebandonpc.com/
