I gather that a sample in a soundfont format would load into BiaB. Are soundfont samples/files readily available?


No, not natively. BIAB is not designed for this. As mentioned above, it is possible to use the VST I recommended, load that into BIAB and load the soundfont into the VST.

If you search for soundfont or sf2, you'll find many files. Some are great, some are good and some are not so good. While they were good in their day, technology has developed since they were first conceived.

What you need is a good software synth - Native Instruments, Miroslav Philharmonik, etc. - that can be plugged into BIAB. These are much more powerful and versatile.

I tend to think that for a good sound, each note of a piano, for example, should be sampled and then all of these samples converted into a soundfont file.


As far as I'm aware, and I might be wrong because my experience is limited, soundfont players would not be able to hold that many samples.

P.S. I don't think this forum supports email alerts like some do.
