HI ALL
Problems with some muffled voices in Sforzando from imported SF2 sound font.

I am very fond of the Timbres of Heaven sound font and use it in the Coolsoft Virtual synth no prob all voices are good.
However the coolsoft gets installed as a device so can’t be used for direct rendering.

So the answer is as I want to direct render it. I have imported it into the Sforzando vst
This works well for many of my sound fonts.
However when using Timbres of Heaven which is sf2, I import and the Aria converter in the Sforzando import, converts it to SFZ

All is well but the first 2 voices 000 Concert grand, 001 Bright grand are dull low volume and muffled. Voice 3 002 Electric grand is fine. But voice 4 003 honkytonk is the same as the first 2, muffled etc . After that all other voices in the font are fine and sound great.

I know similar voices in sound fonts share elements so maybe that is a clue with these 3 pianos. But the font is good in coolsoft before conversion .
I have also looked at it in the Viena sound font editor and all seems well and all voices play normally on the virtual keyboard or via my controller.
So my suspicion is in the conversion process.

Wondered if you guys had experienced anything like this I think Trevor is a Timbres of Heaven fan.
All your thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated.

Mike
