Win32 Maxi Bankloader

 


What is WMB ? 

It's an enhaced sound bank loader for sound cards based on the Dream 9407 DSP (like Guillemot Home Studio Pro 64 or Egosys Wamy Box). In its current version (1.0b), WMB does NOT work with the ISIS cards.Both English and French versions are available.
 

Why WMB ? 

Guillemot products are great, but I was not satisfied by the "Bank Downloader" utility shipped with my HSPRO 64: 16 bits GUI, MSDOS -like file names, no ability to load a set of banks in a single operation, frustrating text files-based bank mapping. So I decided to develop my own in C++, as soon as I found the Dream 9407 SDK on the net. 
 

What are the new features compared to Guillemot's Bank Downloader?

If you have a Guillemot sound card, I'm sure you'll like these ;) :

  1. Full Win32 GUI support (see the screenshots)
  2. Now you can quickly build your own Presets (up to 8 banks loadable at one time), save them and load them in one operation. Moreover, you can automatically load a preset at WMB's startup,
  3. Load/Unload of banks with keyboard shortcuts,
  4. The priority of the banks can now be changed dynamically (usefull when you have the same Midi progs in two banks),
  5. At least, a very friendly MIDI bank mapping ! Now you have in one "Ready to print" HTML file all what you have to know : Preset name, bank names and files locations, memory usage, priority of the banks, instrument and drumset mapping for each bank in the preset, with Steinberg's Cubase bank and prog translation !  
  6. No more annoying mplayer.exe opening when playing the MIDI file,
  7. Enhaced memory management,
  8. Startup in Windows systray bar to avoid taskbar overload.

How much does it cost ? It is a shareware ?

It costs nothing. It's absolutely FREEWARE. No limitations, no registration. If you like it, you can send me one of your best self-made midifile :)
