I knew there was something I was forgetting! I was sure I was missing a step 
because I've accessed options in larger soundfonts before. Thank you for 
reminding me!

Are you translating to high density bank change commands? QWS automatically
assumes this, so for bank 2 you need a value of 256, and so on. Multiply
your Viena bank number by 128 if you aren't already doing so.

Still can't work out how to access the other sounds in this font.


For clarification: When the "Program" number is set to anything from -1 to
127 it works fine and plays all the right instruments as long as the "Bank"
number is set to -1. After that, it does the sound effects in the
123-128 banks, but nothing else. As I said, I tried to set the "Program"
number to 15 and the "bank" number to 12 for this particular soundfont, and
instead of getting the Christmas Bells I was expecting, I got the Dulcimer,
which is "Program" number 15 in the 0 "Bank".


I don't know what I'm doing wrong...

So do I! A friend recommended the soundfont to me and it sounds nice
enough, but I want to get to the other banks between 000 and 128 and I
don't know what I'm doing wrong... I want nice church bells and I want
to hear that Christmas Bells option...

Hi, it wasn't blank, at least at this end. Hope someone can answer

      It wasn't supposed to be blank!

I'm so sorry that happened. I don't understand why it did.

Here's the message I wrote last night.


Hi,


I just downloaded a new soundfont and installed it in QWS. I used
Viena to get the bank numbers of the presets, but when I tried to put
them in to listen to the instruments, everything above the first main
bank
(0-127/-1) didn't seem to play anything different from the main bank.


Here's the soundfont:

http://www.schristiancollins.com/generaluser.php

That's the homepage for it and there's a download link. It's not that
big.


I tried to access a preset with the number 015:012 and it only played
the Marimba instead of what I wanted to access. I don't know why this
is.
