Save reverb settings to soundfont??

• Jun 11, 2016 - 04:27

I downloaded a soundfont for marching percussion off of http://www.drumputer.com/soundfont/installation.html and opened it in Viena. The marching bass drums sounded like they were being played in a cave, very echoey but i lowered the reverb amount from 50% to 25% and it sounded PERFECT! When I pressed save and opened the soundfont file in the synthesizer and wrote a little bit, the sound effects for the bass drums sound just like the basses sounded at the beginning--like they were being played in a cave. How do I apply the reverb settings in Viena to the soundfont file so when I write in MuseScore, the reverb settings will be carried over?

I changed the Reverb amount in the Viena program, I didn't touch anything in Musescore. I opened the soundfont file (marchperc3.sf2) in Viena, and when I click the keys to hear the sound of each instrument, they all sounded like they were being played in a cave (the reason for this was because the reverb amount was set at 50%). I clicked Reverb in the upper right, and dragged it down to 15%, and clicked okay. Then when I clicked the keys, everything sounded very nice. I clicked Save (this is all being done in the Viena program, haven't opened Musescore yet). Then I opened MuseScore and added the soundfont into the Synthesizer and click Save to Score. I wrote a few notes and played it back, and it sounded all cavey, like nothing was saved earlier. I was hoping to make all of the sounds in the soundfont to 15% reverb, then be able to open the SoundFont file in MuseScore and have it sound like it did in Viena, but the Reverb settings in Viena obviously didn't save.
