It's pretty good. I have a few suggestions, use Ethan's Bassoon or SSO bassoon. also, I like chaos for saxes

I looked at the Chaos soundfont for the saxes and I'm conflicted on the Soprano Saxophone. The others, in my opinion, are fine as they are in my soundfont. I will look into changing the Bassoon.
How did you make it?
I haven't tested the other instruments out, but I think the flute has unwanted vibrato for long tones. Is it supposed to be like that?
how do you add it in?
In reply to how do you add it in? by Music Is my Li…
Locate your MuseScore 2 folder on your computer (if it's Windows, it is in Documents by default), find the Soundfont folder in that folder, and plop the .sf2 file in there. Then it should appear in your synthesizer (go to View -> Synthesizer in the MuseScore program)
HTH
You might as well add strings. Then it can be used for orchestral purposes.
I was trying to use the trumpet and I thought it sounded great with short notes. With long notes however, it has a diminuendo effect which makes the other instruments louder. Any way to fix that?
Is there no Euphonium/Baritone?

This is a great soundfont, I love it! I would suggest however adding a tambourine and cabasa. But everything else is spot on!

Thanks!
So I know this is years later, but I have recently begun using this soundfont for my pieces and I absolutely love the sounds! I've run into a small problem that most of the instrument playback does not properly crescendo or decrescendo when written. Has this been fixed or is there a way I can fix it on my end?
Thanks,
Seth
In reply to So I know this is years… by Seth Garcia
If you mean, within a single note, then probably you need to change the CC method in View / Synthesizer / Dynamics - the default settings typically only works with the default soundfonts provided by MuseScore. You may have to experiment to find what works with this or any other third-party soundfont.
Where's the Baritone?
