## BassMidi VSTi

is a portable VST 2.4 instrument/software MIDI synthesizer for Windows that is based on the Bass/BassMidi libraries by Un4Seen.

You need some SF2/SFZ soundfont(s) and a VST Host/DAW to use it. In the package both x86 and x64 versions are included for different x86/x64 hosts.

Using x86/x64 host bridges are not recommended.

Bass.dll and Bassmidi.dll have to be copied to the same (VST) directory as BassMidiVsti.dll.

Copying BassMidiVsti.vstxml is optional. It's only included for easier parameter customization.

Bassflac.dll is also optional, it's only needed when FLAC compressed SFZ files are used.

Supported MIDI events/controllers can be found in BassMidi documentation.

If you need a good versatile GM/GS soundfont, try this: Reality_GMGS_falcomod.sf2
