I got CoolSoft VirtualMIDISynth working on Notation Composer 3.0.2. All I had to do was reinstall it.

Thanks.

Yes, this works. We consider CoolSoft to be a workaround. CoolSoft is a great tool and for free - "you can do what you want" - but we at Notation Software cannot distribute CoolSoft because of licensing restrictions. CoolSoft is based on the BASS libraries from "Un4seen developments". The BASS libraries are only free for individuals but not for commercial applications. Furthermore our products require an immediately working software synth. An additional installation which is required for Windows 10 can only be considered as an intermediate fix. In particular for the trial versions, playing needs to work right away. The new integrated Notation Software Synth of the upcoming version 3.0.3 offers great capabilities like loadable soundfonts, WAV file export or the ASIO realtime driver for recording.

Hi friends,

For those who are following this thread, we did indeed release v 3.0.3 yesterday, and it is fully certified for Windows 10. The release is a free update for version 3 license holders, as well as available at a discounted upgrade price for those who purchased a version 2 license.

Enjoy!
