Stormmedia Fluid Fantasy Sound(SFFS) Closed Beta V0.1
-----------------------------------------------------
What is it
-------------
It's a project that I started because I found the midi quite anoying and creepy in a game... so I started a project that will improve a lot the midi instruments and I modified the midi files so it fits the best possible to my instruments. This project is optimized for FF7/8 but can also be used with any programs.
Note that Since this is a Closed version I will only give the Link to some people so if you are interested in testing it Post here or P.M. me and I will P.M. you the link.
How to install it-----------------
1-Install the MidiYokeSetup.msi (it's a kind of bridge between the game and the synth).
2-Copy the Synth folder wherever you want it doesn't matter where.
3- For Final Fantasy VII
-You have to make an LGP with the "FF7 mid" folder.
-You have to replace the "...\Final Fantasy VII\data\midi\midi.lgp" by the LGP you just made.
-Open the ff7config and in the midi tab select "MIDI Yoke NT: 1" for the MIDI Driver and "General MIDI" as the MIDI Data.
For Final Fantasy VIII
-Copy all the files in the "FF8 SGT" to the "...\FINAL FANTASY VIII\Data\Music\dmusic" folder and overwrite the existing files
-You have to use the Ficedula's FF8 configurator Version 2.2 if you don't already have it you can download it right here:
http://aaronserv.dyndns.org/hosting/ffsf/download_8.html
-Start the Ficedula's FF8 configurator Version 2.2 and select "MIDI YokeNT: 1" as the music device.
5-start the "SFFS.bat" in the "Synth" folder and start the game.
Note that Fluidsynth have many bugs that I fixed ... but there is some that I'm still have to fix... mostly the fact that it have some
compatibility issues with some newer drivers of some sound card... so if you have problem try to use an older driver of you sound card.
Exept the fact that if you have a newer driver most of the bugs you will experience will be CPU related ... I have still many instruments
that eat a lot of CPU usage though I already fixed some of them it still takes a good CPU to run it.
