Synthesia doesn't kill its process after exit on Windows 10
When describing problems, always mention your OS and game version (shown at the bottom of the title screen).
If your keyboard has USB or MIDI ports, there is a tremendously high chance (>99%) it will work with Synthesia. See what you'll need on the keyboards page.

Hello,
I encounter a kind of bug after exiting Synthesia on Windows 10. I don't know if it is a known bug. When I press "Exit" on Synthesia, it seems to close but the process isn't killed (Synthesia (32 bits) still appears in the task manager). If I try load Synthesia again without killing the process manually, an error windows indicates : "The Synthesia configuration tool is already running. You must close it before starting Synthesia.".
Thanks,
FreeBird.

Thank you for your answer. I tried to wait more than 10 minutes after exiting Synthesia and the process is still active. I tried to launch an other program for comparison purpose (Adobe Reader) and the process correctly disappears when I exit that software. In other words: it still looks like a bug.
That is very strange. I wonder if this isn't intermittent instead of being based on a particular version. Does it not happen 100% of the time in r3659 while always happening 100% of the time in the final 10.2 version?
How about after a fresh restart?
Do you have any configuration different between the two versions? (Say, your keyboard is enabled in one but not the other?)

Hi. It doesn't look intermittent. I tried this morning after a fresh restart with Synthesia 10.2 and r3715 (I didn't keep r3659 because I installed final 10.2). I enabled my keyboard (Korg microSTATION) and CoolSoft VirtualMIDISynth on r3715. I then exited. r3715 then exits correctly. I remembered I usually use BASSMIDI (latest version) with the final version. So I configured Synthesia for BASSMIDI. The problem appeared upon exit with r3715. I then tried again with VirtualMIDISynth without any problem.
Conclusion: It seems that BASSMIDI prevents Synthesia to exit correctly. VirtualMIDISynth doesn't seem to cause any trouble.
P.S. I usually use VirtualMIDISynth with Arobas Guitar Pro 5 and BASSMIDI with Synthesia (different soundfont). I'll use VirtualMIDISynth for both.

I use Virtual midi synth too and sometimes if i quit and relaunch synthesia the process is not killed due to the virtualmidisynth who load /unload my soundfont.
By the way didi you know you can switch easily beetween soundfont within virtualmidisynth?
I use it for both Guitar pro & synthesia personally.
But i prefer the guitar sound of guitar pro 6 than my soundfont.
what soundfont did you use for guitars?

Thx i 'll try it, i have finished to dl it.
By the way the best guitars i can have is the ones from gp6 not perfect but better than any soundfonts that i have tried.
The best is to use huge bank dedicated for guitars i know ,but i like the light things when i study a tab.
Progression or notion allow you to load any vsti/vst effects so it's the best for good sounding guitars out of the box.
You can also use midi yoke with you're favorite daw of course.
