Title: change loudness of a sf2 soundfont
Post by: tthoms on March 04, 2016, 08:38:46 AM
hello,
I will use the vA2-vsmpl  and parallel sf2 soundfonts (LS soundfonts). But the loudness of the sf2 soundfont is higher than the va2-vsmpl. I've tried to reduce the volume of the sf2 soundfont with the viena soundfont editor. I have changed the volume offset but without success. The loudness was not changed. Could someone help me? Thank you.
Thom

In viena, you click on the preset, then you can set an attenuation (db)   in the first (general) column of the preset

Hello Dan,
do you mean the volume offset. I tried this, but if I save the sf2 file the offset value seems not be stored. The storing will be o.k. E.g without errors. If I open the file again the offset is zero and not the value I gave before (16dB). What could be wrong?

No. Double clic on the preset, to see the big table editor

Perfect ! This way, you can change the volume of every SF2 preset
