Re: [fluid-dev] SoundFont Preset generator interpretation

Hi,

 

>can you confirm this possible situation? So ALL LEVELS are additive

No, global isn't additive to local. Only Preset level is additive to Instrument level.

 

Preset level:

Preset Global Zone:      -11000
Preset Inst Zone:           500

-----------------------------------

Instrument level:
[That Inst] Global Zone:    600
[That Inst] Each Zone:      700

 

1)Local Preset Zone (500) replaces Global Preset Zone (-11000) so the result is 500 at Preset level (This result will be added to the result at Instrument level)

2)Local Instrument Zone (700) replace Global Instrument zone (600) so the result is 700 at Instrument level. The final result = (Preset level + Instrument level) = (500 + 700)

 

Think like that:

1)at each level, Local replace Global, then

2)add Preset Level to Instrument Level.

The goal of Preset level zone(s) is to allow the building of a variant preset (P2) of an existing Preset (P1) using only simple additive logic. Both preset P2 and P1 using the same Instrument.
