I've been using the SynthFont package which is in effect a simple midi file playing package with very limited editing, but which can access a sound font package which could be built around whichever specific instruments you want/need. You'd need a new-ish laptop, depending on price, with some basic software that could use VS technology so that you could find and load specialist soundfonts. Options have arisen though regarding the Virtual Synth, with soundfonts, that might get you back towards 'possible'? May be the only way to get what you want. And the sound module bit, and the expectations as to quality from such, have become more sophisticated, and varied, and specialised (as you yourself are indicating). The price of a laptop has come down, even quite fancy ones can be had second hand for 100 or so (dollars or whatever just about). But I think this would no longer be economically viable. The idea was in effect a specialised computer (in effect) and a limited sound module unified into a single box. Sorry, but I think you've been bypassed by technology.Īt one time there were boxes that did this, I think Roland did at least one 'midi file player'.
