I think that's not much unlike using a VST host + VSTi plug-in, a loop back cable and so on vs just using a native soft synth driver (VSC3, S-YXG50, etc) that's directly available. If I remember correctly, he somehow disabled the startup sound in Windows, then added a shortcut of Media Player (w/ the command line option) to start up group.
I knew a person which did that, instead of using the Windows dialog box and just changing the welcome sound. Here's a little story for you guys, an analogy if you will:īack in the late 90s/early 2000s, some people used Media Player with a command line parameter to play back all kind of sounds, including the Windows startup sound. In comparison to more modern technologies.
Sure it works, but it's also a bit limited. Using MCI API or an VSTi plug-in to play back MIDI data (*.MID) is similar to using Win 3x/95 MME API to play back wave audio (*.WAV). "Music can be synthesized either in hardware, in the Microsoft GS Wavetable SW Synth, or in a custom synthesizer.
Except that it relates to MIDI in a similar way like Direct Sound 3D relates to wave audio. What does DirectMusic have to do with soft synths? That's why Windows XP is the last OS real soft synths can run on. Unfortunately, Windows Vista and later no longer have Direct Music.
