![]() ![]() I used a General Midi sound font with a Sound Blaster card some time in the murky past, with Sib 2 or 4. Posted by scoreperfect - 24 Jun 02:41AM (edited 24 Jun 02:42AM) ![]() Presumably you will also need to create a manual soundset, to tell Sibelius which slot to use for each sound. Either use drag-and-drop, or click on the slot and choose "import" from the menu. You can load individual sfz files into the 16 slots of the Aria player. So you may have to reinstall Aria player after you convert your soundfont with the sforzando player. installing one of them killed the other one. Warning, it's a long time since I actually did this conversion, and IIRC there was some problem trying to install both the sforzando player and a (later) version of Aria player on the same computer - i.e. The sforzando player isn't likely to be useful for *playing back* a score from Sibelius, etc, because it can only play *one* sfz file - i.e. When you "import" an sf2 file into the sforzando player it splits it up into a folder of sfz files. The version of Aria player that comes with Garritan libraries (and presumably the Sibelius version) can't do this, but there is a free sfz player from the same company that can do it. So, you need to convert your sf2 file into a set of sfz files, one for each patch. It may define controls that affect the sound produced, but they don't work the same way as the sf2 "select the patch you want to play" method. ![]() An sfz file contains only one basic "instrument". When you play it, you send MIDI commands which select the sound to be used for each of the 16 MIDI channels.Īria player uses a different file format called sfz. You can, but it's not as simple as just "loading the soundfont into Aria player".Ī sf2 file usually contains many "patches" (sounds), for example it might contain a complete set of 128 General Midi sounds. ![]()
