MIDI Load Pusher

Do you have a project that suddenly stops and gives you the "Reading Sound Bank From Server" message? If so, just pop this project into yours and it will force Java to load the notes, instruments, and drums that you use in your project as soon as it starts.
The link is here.

Re: MIDI Load Pusher

Nice idea. I think much more people need to see this, so this is a bump too. Sorry

Re: MIDI Load Pusher

That's a great idea. Actually, you can download the instruments file on your computer so it never has to download it again.

You can learn more about it here:

You will notice some odd sounds at the start of some of my projects....that was my crude approach to force the sounds to load early!  I'm going to definately take a look at this.  Thanks!
