How to view instrument's playback properties?

• Apr 2, 2024 - 21:19

Regarding playback:
Where can I view how instruments will react to adding palette elements?

i.e. - Piano will NOT react to guitar bend being added to it, unless you replace the instrument with guitar, and then change voice to piano

What is the instrument to use if you want all palette elements to actually affect playback?
I use cello / violin and it seems to work for the most part.

I've tried looking at the soundfonts in Polyphone Soundfont Editor, but I really don't know what I should be looking for.


Also I changed my username but old one displays on this post, what's up with that. It changes on musescore.com but not musescore.org? Huh?

Just like in real life, there is no one instrument that will react to all palette elements. Tuba does not respond to pizzicato. We either know what instruments use what elements, or we Google it.
