<div>Hey Luke,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>As far as I know, the only way to do what you want is to open each soundfont with swami and edit the volume of each soundfont by hand. Then (this would be a personal preference) pack it all into one 128 instrument bank and then switch instruments via program select midi messages.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Out of interest, which soundfonts/bristol synths are you using? If the soundfonts are freely available/redistributable, I might download them and try and normalise them for you.</div>

I need to normalize each of these soundfonts to an average gain and similar range, so that I don't get hit in the head by a beer at my next show.<br>
<br>Any tools out there that'll let me do this? I am playing through qsynth/fluidsynth and have a master gain but nothing (afaics) that allows me to give a preset gain with each patch -- so I need to (i think) unpack and re-build each soundfont with a goal volume range in mind, then use the master gain in qsynth to bring me up to a normal volume with bristol (which I also use, and is independently adjustable).<br>
<br>Any advice is appreciated.<br><br>Thanks,<br>Luke<br><br clear="all">-----<br><font color="#888888">Luke Peterson<br></font><br>_______________________________________________<br>Linux-audio-user mailing list<br><a href="mailto:Linux-audio-user@lists.linuxaudio.org">Linux-audio-user@lists.linuxaudio.org</a><br>
