F.A.Q: Vortex 2 Technical Support FAQ

A collection of technical support questions and answers for soundcards based on Aureal's Vortex 2 chip. Many questions and answers are provided courtesy of Aureal but are not the official position of Aureal Inc.

30. MIDI/DLS: Is there a patch editor available for Vortex 2-based cards? - Top

No, there is not. Aureal has no plans currently to release a patch editor for their chipsets. Vortex 1-based cards support DLS (Level 1) sound banks, and there are bank editors and conversion programs available that will allow you to create banks in DLS format.

Awave is a great conversion tool that allows you the flexibility to convert almost any known sound bank format over to DLS. It also has advanced tools that rival many patch editors. Be sure to use version 5.0 or higher.

Audio Compositor combines a MIDI file renderer and software wavetable synthesizer, integrated with a rich graphical environment for editing instrument samples and patches. Be sure to use version 3.2f or higher.

Aureal does not support or endorse either of these programs, but they are great tools that will allow you to expand upon the functionality of your Vortex 1-based product. - Updated: November 29, 1999
