Re: [fluid-dev] Determining what's wrong with a soundfont

[Marcus Weseloh]

Hi Mark,

your soundfont is actually not quite correctly formed according to the
specs. There is a certain order to the generators in presets and
instrument zones. The KeyRange Generator always has to come first,
followed by a Velocity Range generator. Both generators can also be
omitted, but if they are present, then they must appear first and in
exactly this order. Your soundfont contains the following instrument
generators in most instrument zones:
KEYRANGE
SAMPLEMODE
VELRANGE

As you can see, the SampleMode generator is incorrectly placed,
causing FluidSynth to discard the VelocityRange generator (because it
was expected to come before SampleMode).

May I ask which software you used to create this soundfont?

Cheers,
Marcus
