Dan,
In addition to the in-built vArranger sf2 sounds, I am also using Ketron SD1000 (in sf2 format).
If I load another sf2 bank say Essential Keys, the sounds in Essential Keys defaults to GM and sound same like Ketron GM sounds.
As an example, 0.0.0 Essential Keys -Yamaha C5 Grand Piano (name remains) but sound like 0.0.0. SD 1000 Grand Piano.(GM), Essential Keys-0.0.1 Large Concert Grand sound like 0.0.1 Rock Piano (GM)
How can I retain Essential Keys sf2 sounds or at least some of them to use with SD1000 sf2 and vArranger built-in sf2 instruments.
Regards.
You need to give every sound a different number
I explain it here : https://www.varranger.com/wiki/index.php?title=SF2#SF2_-_SOUNDFONTS_Sounds
Dan,
Thanks , I use Polyphone and rename Essential Keys sf2's to 2@.......etc.
They are working in vArranger, but some instruments are sent to incorrect sound classifications.
Example: Strings>Guitar, Piano>Bass, Trumpet>Electric Piano etc.
I saved as USER RIGHT SOUND, but end up with duplicated sounds.
When I delete the initial sf2 instrument in Polyphone, the USER VOICE then changes to GM sound.
How can I delete incorrect place sf2 sounds in vArranger? What happens if I rename sf2's as 1@.......?
Regards.
The sound group classification depends on the Program Change number
Exemple 0 will be in PIANO, 33 will be in BASS section
Look at the GM sound list
