SFontEditor - Gluing
Ok, now that you've turned your .SF2 files into straight presets (and samples).
Well, PianoCheater doesn't want to have to sort that MONDO directory
all the time so we do that ONCE with SFontEditor's toobar button called:
"Compile SF2 presets into soundfont's sound.txt listing"
PianoCheater will run this automatically if you've been ripping SF2s.
But if you manually delete or rename some presets,
you'll have to run it yourself.
Unused .pset and .WAV files will be moved to the SFont\_x dir
You can safely delete this dir, but sometimes it's handy to look through
what you're going to throw out.
It will list off the .pset files and
create the file: ...\PianoCheater\Device\soundfont\sound.txt
Now PianoCheater can take care of soundfont presets on the fly!
Given sound.txt, PianoCheater knits together a CUSTOM .SF2 for each patch
of the current song and dumps it just before the song starts :)
AND while changing sounds of a song within PianoCheater!
Now go ahead and listen to the sounds with PianoCheater.
PianoCheater has a "rate sound" dialog where you can
check em out, delete the lame .pset files, reorganize em, etc.
It's kind of nice to have the soundfont bank loaded fresh for
each new song and to be able to
pick from ALL of your presets while recording new tracks, etc.
Try it out and click that feedback thingy if you've got questions or
better ideas=>
Pleeease! (grovel grovel grovel)
