How to make a SoundFont usable for drum sets
Hello everyone! I recently downloaded a drum SoundFont (sf2), that I would like to be able to use with drum sets. However, when loaded, it is only available as an option for pitched instruments. Is there a way to edit the SoundFont and/or Musescore xml files to make it usable with drum sets? Thanks ahead of time!

Because it only allows it as pitched instruments (I had the same issue when I first started doing soundfonts), you need to edit the soundfont (I use polyphone to do this, you can too, or use a different program). In polyphone, open the soundfont. When it opens, open up the Presets tab on the left. Change the bank to 128. Once that's corrected, it should work fine.

So, if 20 people answered and only one of the answers worked, it would be logical to write about it.

I think that 1 year(!) later all of the involved people have long moved on from this though...
