On a positive note I was able to get some success using the free Cakewalk SFZ VSTi soundfont player. It did play the drum samples without chopping off the ends. However the mix of the drums seemed "off" with the snare drum being way too far up in the mix. I might have to do some more searching around for some more general VSTi soundfont players that allows for mixing of each individual note. I haven't tried SFZ+ yet but that one seems to have more features


Hi Bobby again: I think your making a lot of work for yourself. The beauty of the sf2 was that all the parameters(the page & a half you listed) were already mapped and ready to play. I used soundfonts on my last computer with a creative audigy card. On this computer I have the free cakewalk sfz player and only use soundfonts now for a sketch pad. The problem you are having with the snare level may actually be the way sonic implants mixed the kit. The snare waves may need a volume cut. I would stick with the free sfz player since it works for you. I have no problem with it in realband. I think what you need is a "SOUNDFONT EDITOR" The editor that came with the creative card was called "Vienna". This editor would only work with a creative card. There is (or was) a free soundfont editor called "Viena". Try a search and see if it is still available. I think this is the road you should take instead of looking for the magic vst.

As far as your Toms not playing with an EZ Drummer file untill a re-load of the vst..
Check the EZ Drummer Mixer..or more info needed.

Another thought about your snare volume, again Iam using realband,but try..Edit>Change Velocities, then use the filter to change only one note(your snare). Bobby...
