Soundfont problem
I have tried to test different soundfont: I have exracted the zip file, verified in preferences the path of the soundfont folder, but when I am in Synthesizer trying to add different soundfont, in the list there is just this basic FluidR3Mono_GM.sf3. What I am doing wrong?
Comments
Is the soundfont SF2, SF3, or SFZ? In the latter case you need to use the Zerberus tab.

I managed to load SFZ form Sonatina Symphonic Orchestra and it´s working, Thank you. But Fluid R3 GM for example does not working - I did the same thing as with SFZ but when I went to Syntehesizer (fluid) and tried to add different soundfont, there is just this FluidR3Mono GM in the list.

Do you mean you've downloaded some older alternate version of Fluid R3, without all the many improvements to optimize it for use with MuseScore? I wouldn't recommend going back to one of those, but if you have some special reason to need to, be sure you have it in SF2 format. Probably what you download is in SFARK and needs to be unlocked first.

Not deliberately, ok, I wasn´t aware of that it was some older version. I don´t have any special reason to use that : ) Soundfonts and their formats are totally new thing to me. I am not sure which soundfonts/formats I should dowload if I want test them. And how I unlock some format if needed.

See the Handbook under "Soundfonts" for more info. As for which to try out, see the Soundfonts forum on this site for some discussion of other people's favorites.

Ok, Thank you very much.
