Difference between HQ and Default?
I can feel that there are changes... But what's changed? Also what is the Drumlines extension?

I am not sure about the HQ - something about the piano and/or strings, I think; it's pretty mysterious to me really. MDL is pretty extensively documented however, see for instance https://musescore.org/mdl for an overview, https://musescore.org/en/node/273835 for tutorials.

It is also/mainly about strings I think

It seems like the things that changed are mainly piano (and variations), organ (var), some percussion and electric guitar sounds.

Alright thanks, just wanted to see if Drumline was soundfonts or something else. Well, drum scores have so many markings xd

The MDL extension is a bundle containing an SFZ soundfont, some templates, instrument definitions, workspace
The HQ extension is a 'bundle' containing an SF3 soundfont, an improved version of the regular soundfont.
Some (orchestral) templates make use of the HQ sounds, if available, like for string sections

Hmm... if HQ is the improved version of Default Soundfont, why not just have HQ as default? And keep the current default as extension? (Not like it's important but thinking..)

Because it increases the download significantly (by some 50MB)
Also is it my idea or these are the only 2 that contain not only muted trumpets but also muted trombones? And other muted brass... (unfortunately it's harmonn and not straight ;_;)

there is a Trumpet straight mute in the VSCO-2 SFZ.
i converted the instruments to SF2, there is still a lot of work to do, but the instruments are stereo and i dont believe in stereo instruments, so i am not going to waste my time on the editing of stereo samples.

.O. wait why would you even edit stereo samples, isn't the other solution mono? Perhaps there mus be others...
Bruh though, those samples are my favourite (if we exclude high and low end notes of instruments) . I take off your hat and this link with it.

of course i will make a nice mono sf2 for myself, i just share these stereo fonts for the believers.

eek... they are not all in 1 soundfont... bad thing is that google drive takes time to zip em.

and if you want them in one sf2, thats easy;
1 Install Polyphone
2 File> New
3 name it VSCO-2stereo
4 open the Flute.sf2
5 draw the Flute preset from the Flute.sf2 to the Presets of VSCO-2stereo.sf2
6 close the Flute.sf2 and open the Oboe.sf2
7 draw the Oboe preset to the Presets of the VSCO-2.sf2
etcetera, etcetera
I think I'll stick to HQ soundfont for now... I don't like having a traffic of many different soundfonts, plus HQ is good enough.
