I'm trying use an authentic sound font for temple blocks for a percussion ensemble piece that I added to MuseScore 4. I found a great one in the FluidR3Mono_GM2-315.sf2 created in sforzando but the temple blocks have a problem. There's noise after C and D (not as pronounced). The longer the note, the more you hear it. Anybody know how to fix that? I'd like attach an example, but .mscz is not allowed.

You can upload an audio clip to a file sharing service such as Drop-Box, and share the link.

The audio clip embedded in the sound font is likely not made correctly.
The audio clip may have too many, or not enough, samples; i.e 44100 or 48000 samples per second.
Another possibility is the audio clip may not start or stop at the zero crossing of the waveform.

Never mind. I discovered it's an issue with my Bluetooth hearing aids. When I listened directly from my laptop speaker, the sound went away.

Let me retract my "never mind." It's still there, I just can't hear it well without my hearing aids

The sample rate is set to 48000. What would be good to set it to?

44,100 sampling rate
And, 16-bit audio in case yours is running at 24 or higher.

I'm sure I did something wrong, but when I changed the sampling rate to 44,100 the sounds changed from temple blocks to cymbals. Any ideas?

Sorry, but that was coincidence. Changing the sample rate alone would not cause that.

I don't think there is a patch map for Sforzando and I understand it is GM at any rate. Try two things: 1: Reset to Factory Defaults (from the Options drop-down menu) and test again. 2: Reinstall BiaB from the distribution, there should be no need to uninstall first, just replace your existing system.

Audio Track isn't Sforzando a one patch at a time instrument?
I thought that it was, however I don't use it thus I don't know.
If it is a one patch at a time instrument then it is not GM compliant.

If it is a one patch at a time instrument then it is not GM compliant. Mario, yes, you are correct if it can only play one patch at a time, it doesn't meet the full GM spec. I don't specifically use Sforzando so I give no assurance and no guarantee that my offer of assistance is going to resolve the issue. But I hope it helps in some small way. Often we see that users have made multiple adjustments to their settings. I was hoping that starting from a baseline might help identify / resolve the O/P's original issue.

Maybe someone who uses Sforzando can clarify if it is GM compliant or not. Thanx.

Plogue sforzando, has only ONE instrument slot, no mixer. ...Therefore, Sforzando can only load one sfz file at a time. To play say a piano and flute you have to have two tracks in your application with an instance of .Sforzando on each. https://s3.amazonaws.com/sforzando/sforzando_guide.pdf

Yes. I've noticed when I've use sforzando in MuseScore 4. Is there another tool you would suggest using?

Dougy Drums, In addition to Sforzando PG Music includes the free version of +++ Synthfont 2 +++ with Band-in-a-Box. Synthfont 2 is a multi timbrel midi player so one instance of Synthfont 2 can play more than one instrument. PG Music also includes a GM compatible instrument patch.

Synthfont 2 is a multi timbrel midi player so one instance of Synthfont 2 can play more than one instrument. PG Music also includes a GM compatible instrument patch. I'm not sure that's quite right. PGM certainly includes VSTSynthFont (VSTSynthFont64), from the same people, but I think not SynthFont2, though do correct me if I'm wrong. I have to say that I find synthfont's website very confusing. Too many applications with names too similar to each other. The BIAB manual page 9 tells where to find it (bb/Data/libx64) and how to install it. There are better soundfonts than the default one that comes with it.

Let's make sure we're all on the same page. My goal is temple blocks without a clicking sound. Are we saying BIAB might allow me allow me to download or access a better version of FluidR3Mono_GM or FluidR3_GM_GS that may have a cleaner set of temple blocks? And, if so, is the BIAB Pro version good enough?
