Sounds have a staccato accent whenever they are played- how to fix?

• Mar 25, 2017 - 01:08

Hello, Apologies if this has already been questioned... I couldn't find it.

I put a new custom soundfont for some of my instruments. Whenever the notes are played they play really loud for a short time to the beginning, then they become quiet.

What's wrong? how do I fix this?

- Thanks

There are many parameters in the SoundFont specification.
If we put only the wav file into the SoundFont, there can be many unpredictable problems.
One of the most important issues is the balance of the instruments.
Others: Loop start and end points, Normalization, Tuning, ADSR settings, etc.
The best is to examine existing soundfonts and learn common parameters.
Also, "Trial and error" method is one of the ways of learning.
Of course the preparation of the samples is still difficult.
But once you understand, the rest will come.

If you want to share this "custom soundfont"; some people (who know how to make and adjust the soundfont) can give some suggestions. (Not me. )
Otherwise, we do unnecessary conversations on unknown things (As I did above). ;)

Thanks!
My custom soundfont are sounds I recorded.
I don't know how to share the soundfonts though, but if I did, perhapse someone who was experience could put it together.

All of the stuff I know I learned on my own (which really is not that much) . I can't find to much information with how to make soundfonts. I know it is very extensive process... Oh, well... I guess I will just try to figure it out.
