Creating Layers in a Soundfont ?
Posted: Tue Feb 11, 2014 12:12 am
Hi,
I'm working on a large set of 5 velocity layer samples per kitpiece from my own drumkit that I will be posting here soon hopefully completely finished as the samples themselves, an H2 kit, SFZ and also a Soundfont2. I have some experience dating back to my Windows days creating Soundfonts (Awave Studio and V-Sampler) but I've never created a multi-layered one, this is fairly easy in the H2 and SFZ formats but I don't know to do it in an SF2 editor. I'm planning on using Polyphone which is a bit more polished than Swami and also has better docs, however multi-layering is not explicitly covered. Anyone have any pointers ?, a few Googles have not really given me a direct answer, even if I could find out what part of the Soundfont tree layering is done in (ie Instruments or Presets) would be very helpful.
Thanks in advance!
