MIDI keyboard setup as synthesizer

I finally got my MIDI keyboard and tried to connect it to a laptop, I happen to have a GNX Guitar Workstation therefore I didn't need to purchase a midi to usb cable. See schematics:

I wanted to refresh my rusty keyboard skills, so started to look for a free software stack that I can use to produce some sound using the simplest and most CPU/ Sound Chip friendly solution that works on Windows 7.
First I needed a fairly low latency synthesizer the BASSMIDI Driver fits the bill very well, but it is a sound font based synth so I needed a decent sound font: Weeds GM3 is a good one.
Setup:
Download and install Installer bassmididrv2.02.exe
Then download the Weeds GM3 sound font uncompress and configure the driver. You need to run the configuration tool As Administrator.
  • Click Add
  • Select the sound fount
  • Click Open.

That is all fine, but how will I connect this to the MIDI input.
There are multiple solutions to this problem, one of them is to use the MidiRouter which is a small and simple software.
  • Select MIDI Input.
  • Select MIDI Output.
  • Click Connect and it is all done.


The whole solution has got a fairly light CPU usage. If your midi keyboard can support midi control functions you can use them with this setup.
