Next page in the patch selector

#1

Hi,

I use some sound-font files in ACE Fluid Synth but when I open the patch selector, it is full and I am afraid it’s a next page, with other patches, that I don’t see.

Can someone tell me how to find all the patches of a big sound-font file, please ?

See the button labelled “Banque” ? That lets you switch banks

There are only a maximum of 128 patches per bank, because of MIDI limits.

Thanks,

But I have something scattered. Do you think the problem is in the sf2 file ? Or can I do something to sort all that ?

There are actually 128 * 128 possible banks (MSB x LSB).

… and yes, for most .sf2 files, many banks are sparsely populated.

Usually the same instrument-type is found on the same program, and you get different variants thereof on different banks.

e.g. here Program 17 is an Organ for bank 0 and 1, or a Piano on Program 1, etc

Ok, thanks.

I see only a second way to chose the program, see my picture.

I wonder if it exists other ways to do this choice…
