.sfz question

• Nov 4, 2020 - 10:22

I'm looking at downloading this http://virtualplaying.com/virtual-playing-orchestra/#comments

I haven't had any luck getting this to work through the Synthesizer's Zerberus. How would you go about it? I use a Mac btw

I know you need to download both Wave Files and SFZ scripts. But am unsure how to overwrite them. When I put them in the "MuseScore3 > SoundFonts" folder and open Zerberus (then add and choose the soundfont) it doesn't work.

I'll check back here later today. Thanks,
Andrew

OK. I'm gonna give it another shot. I'm trying to figure out how to do this:

"unzip both the zip file for the .sfz scripts and the zip file for the .wav files to the same destination and in the same way (i.e. extract the .zip files into the same sub-directory, “Virtual-Playing-Orchestra3” for example). If you are asked to overwrite files, say yes."

Here is the file structure that worked for me.

  1. Main folder. Named so that you know it is VPO.

Eight sub folders.
1. Brass. This is brass sfz files.
2. Documentation. This is log and license info.
3. Keys. This is celesta sfz.
4. libs. 9 sub folders of sound font wav files.
5. Percussion. drum sfz files.
6. Strings. String sfz files.
7. Vocals. Voice sfz files.
8. Woodwinds. WW sfz files.

Main folder containing the sub folders goes into your regular sound font folder.

I have to say that I was disappointed in the over all performance of of VPO sound wise. It also makes MuseScore take a long time to start and load into a score. Though I did use the solo horn and trumpet from VSCO. This is because there is no solo horn in the default HQ font.
