I downloaded this awsome piano sound font thats REALLY good and realistic, but the problem with it is that only one note can be played at a time. When I play a note after another note together, it will cut it off. This never happens to my other soundfonts,
anyone know how I can fix this? Thanks
 
I've got the same prob with one soundfont ... great sounding piano - probably the same :D
if I load it in my STS 2000 - only one note ..... if I load it in EXSP24 it works like a charm. If you have different samplers, try them - if you don't have E-magic's EXSP-24 ... go check it out, it's worth it

thats cool, thanks


If there any way I can edit the sound font to fix it using Vienna soundfont studio?
 
Reduce the number of samples?

It sounds like you might be coming up against the polyphony limit of whatever hardware you're using.
 
I am just using my computer to play the fonts. How do I reduce the phoyphony limit?
 
Does anyone else know the answer to this? I don't. With most hardware having 32-note polyphony, this doesn't make a lot of sense (The soundfont uses more than 16 samples for just one note??). That's what it sounds like to me, though...

And I have no idea how you would solve that problem. Generally, that's what I run into when I'm sequencing a piece that has a lot of instruments. I solve it by just cutting out a note or two, but obviously that's not going to work here!
 
Hey, I thought of a workaround you might be able to use, though - this would work if you're sequencing, at least. It does no good if you're playing live.

You could always use a software soundfont manager, such as Audio Compositor. Sequence your piano with a different soundfont, then use Audio Compositor to load the faulty soundfont, and use it to mix the midi down to a wave. In software, there are no polyphony or RAM limits, that I'm aware of.

It's not ideal, but it could work.
 
thanks for trying to help.
I really like these piano sounds, its just soo good, its the best piano soundfonts i have heard. I guess i'll just have to stick with teh Kawai concert grand sound, they are not bad either.
