How do I play my part (urbanPan.sf2) with accompanying parts (MuseScore_General.sf3)

Hi,

In terms of the MU Synthesiser, I have my own soundfont to play my instrument which I have sampled (urbanPan.sf2) which is far more authentic and realistic than the Steel Drums in MuseScore_General.sf3

How do I play my instrument over an accompanying arrangement in MuseScore?

I assume MuseScore cannot play two soundfonts simultaneously. However I could be wrong. Therefore, if necessary, would I need to incorporate urbanPan.sf2 into MuseScore_General.sf3 …creating a combined soundfont that can play my instrument with an accompanying band/orchestra?

Thanks for your support 🙏🏾

Regards,
Tony UrbanSmash

You are wrong. MuseScore can load as many soundfonts as your systems memory can handle.
See https://musescore.org/en/handbook/3/soundfonts-and-sfz-files

I'd suggest keeping the MuseScore soundfont on top of the list, so all other instruments don't need to be reassigned in the mixer. Then have yours just below it.

Fantastic. I have both soundfonts loaded in the synthesiser.

However I can only get the MU soundfont to play.

How do I also get my own soundfont assigned to my instrument?

Is it through the mixer, rather the synthesiser?

[UPDATE: I think I’ve solved it now, via the mixer]

Thanks 😊
