* Third-party companies produce DLS banks that are compatible with the Montego
II. For example, Sonic Implants is a source for purchasing high quality DLS
patches and banks. You can visit them at www.sonicimplants.com.
* Owners of the Montego II Home Studio can use the DLS Bank Library &
Downloader, which includes a library of DLS banks.
- Follow this path in the Start Menu:
Start > Programs > Montego II Home Studio > DLS Downloadable Instruments >
DLS Bank Library & Downloader.
- You can also access these DLS banks directly from your Montego II Home
Studio CD-ROM.
X:\Apps\Dls-demo\Banks (Replace X with your CD-ROM drive letter)
- With an editor that supports the DLS format like 'Awave', you can create
your own DLS banks. You can also convert to DLS, from other bank formats,
such as Creative SoundFonts.
- Microsoft DirectX 7.0 features the Microsoft Software Synthesizer. This
implements a Roland GM DLS Level 1 bank. If you have DirectX 7.0 or
greater installed, you can locate this bank and download it to the Montego
II.
Here are the locations:
Windows 95/NT 4.0: C:\Windows\System\Gm16.dls
Windows 98: C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\Gm.dls
- For more information on the DLS Level 1 Specification, visit the MIDI
