I can understand the low end problem due to a 5 string bass but the upper range also had missing notes. No question the soundfonts were not yet completed which is probably why they were free. I was just surprised to hear the apparent dropping of notes in the SuperTrack demos which used the Garritan JABB library.



Some of this is the philosophy of the company producing the synth samples. Samples by definition are recordings. If a flute player can only play the high E two octives above middle C or whatever it is, then how can you create a midi file where the highest flute note is the G above that? There's no recording of that, therefore no sample unless you do a pitch shift to create it. There's a purist school of thought that goes why should they give you notes that don't exist on the original instrument? Others go hey, it's a synth ok? Give the user the option so they create those notes using certain techniques. If they're looking for a squeaky unnatural sounding flute as a special effect, fine, that's their choice. All this is one reason why the manuals for synths run 3-400 pages. They go into all this stuff in mind numbing detail.
