Soundfonts were a sample "file format" used in the late 90's a bunch because of layering and envelope flexibility. I believe the file extension is "sft" but don't quote me on it.Dafunk wrote:Still not sure what soundfonts are though... tell me ejectorset, does vsamp work with Ableton or Reason?
And VSamp can import soundfonts? I'll have to check it out!
You can find plug-ins that are "soundfont players" as well as samplers which play them. Just search for "soundfont vst" or check ut your favorite sampler to see if the fonts are compatible. Once you have a player you trigger them like any other instrument, via a midi note.
