      @Phoenix Flames Do you have the sample set to loop? If a sample doesn’t have its loop settings properly adjusted, then it can make a clicking or beeping noise when it loops. If that’s not it, try making sure the sample is trimmed properly on the beginning and end

    Hey! Good tutorial. Very straight foward, however, followed everything, NOTHING plays back in MuseScore. I'm trying to make my euphonium sample into a soundfont and transcribe Midnight Euphonium, but when I input the note value thing, that's where I'm confused. I put that it's an A# (Bb) because Audacity registered the fundimental tone of my euphonium as an A#, which right. When I put that note in Polyphone on my sample, then put it in MuseScore, NOTHING. What am I doing wrong?

    I recommend setting loop to 0-0 and having the sample atleast 100 seconds long, for example i composed a C4 note 100 second long midi and converted it to mp3 (320 bit rate) then having Vol env decay (s) to 4, Vol env sustain (dB) to 6, Vol env release (s) to 4, Reverb (%) to 24

      I'm not sure how to fix your touch-sensitive issue, but I can tell you that the in-app keyboard is just extremely finnicky. You may have to restart Polyphone once or twice to get it to work.

    • @thirteenling
      @thirteenling  2 роки тому

      I assume you want your soundfont to play multiple sounds, and there are a couple methods. You can either create multiple instruments, with each one corresponding to a different voice sample, or you can have one instrument with all of the samples, just spread our across the keyboard. I have tutorials for both of those, in this playlist: ua-cam.com/play/PL2l8IVr2HIYlN410nF9mLkAF6fmg_idrO.html
      If this isn't the answer you're looking for, you might need to elaborate the question a bit.

      @thirteenling  2 роки тому

      There could be a few problems, but if the sound doesn't play until it's been held for a bit, then the issue is probably that the original sample has a bit of silence at the very start. If you use a sample that has no silence at the beginning, then that should fix the problem, but of course I don't have all the details.
