Hi Ceresa Many thanks for your notes - much appreciated... Ok, with a bit of experimentation, I'm now able to control the volumes of the individual instruments (channels) within a synth... so basically that means my program can now connect/disconnect the keyboard to up to nine individual synths

> The spec says additive, not multiplicative. Unless I'm missing something? Additive, because the spec assumes all times to be in absolute timecents. Soundfont editors however report values in seconds for instrument generators and a multiplicative factor for preset generators. So your calculatio

I have a SoundFont that kind of stumps me a bit. I've long studied the SoundFont spec, and mostly it's great, but there are a couple ambiguities in it. Still, I can't figure out why this SoundFont plays back the way it does. I always try SoundFonts in Emu Vienna and Viena, I always consider tho
