I tried swapping the soundfont Xevin posted, but it made no difference in EQ.

In fact, to test, I deleted the gm.dls file from my system32 folder entirely. Still no difference in EQ.

Did the gm.dls file serve any purpose at all? I downloaded some sweet Legend of Zelda midis from the internet and played them in Media Player. They didn't play at all, so apparently the gm.dls file DOES serve a purpose. I put the Windows default one back in there, and the Zelda midi played. I then swapped it out for Xevin's soundfont and the Zelda midi played differently.

So in conclusion, Xevin's soundfont DOES change the way Windows renders a midi file, but EQ is doing something fishy...

(And yes I tested in Kelethin, some place that didn't pull from an mp3 like Lavastorm would)
