However typically the gig files I use generally support multiple samples / note. The samples are chosen during playback based not only on what key I hit but also on things like MIDI velocity or controller settings. GigaStudio (but not LS) can do some very sophisticated things like live mixing of different samples in the same gig file, inserting processing on the samples, etc., to get some wonderful results. I don't use soundfonts much. The older files I purchased only supported a single sample / note at that time. This meant to modulate volume with MIDI velocity all you got was the same sample played louder which is fine over a limited volume range but generally not that great from 0-127. Whatever you choose to use, please don't worry too much about the stuff above. Just let your ears tell you if you're getting what you want. Have fun, Mark
