Soundfont Help? by Kurausukun at 11:19 AM EDT on March 29, 2015
I don't even know if this is the right place to put this, but whatever.
The situation is: I have a soundfont that has some samples in it, but I have another soundfont that has higher-quality versions of some of the samples in the first soundfont (but the other samples are different, so I can't use it for its associated song). How would I go about replacing the samples in the first soundfont with the higher-quality versions from the second soundfont?
Yes, I know... I guess I wasn't specific enough. My fault.
The only program I have that can edit soundfonts is Awave Studio, but if I simply replace the waveform, it doesn't sound right at all. Are there other programs you know of that could work?
Thanks, that seems to work pretty well. The only thing is that I can't change the sample unless I manually replace the file in AppData, but I'll have to live with it, I guess.
I've always used Viena for my soundfont creation. It now includes importing other soundfonts. You'd just have to assign the samples you want with the correct instrument preset.
I can vouch for Polyphone, as it saved my butt editing this one huge 1.7GB SoundFont, JaZMan SF88, to fix numerous bugs the author left in.
Of course, for editing and saving something that big, you'll need a 64 bit build of Polyphone, as a 32 bit build will run out of memory trying to load all the samples into memory when saving. But with a relatively normal sized bank, you should have no trouble with the stock Windows build.
