Less Reverb??? How?

• Jun 13, 2016 - 02:59

I want my soundfont to play with less reverb 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.

MuseScore no longer sends Reverb level information to FluidSynth.

It is all handled from the Zita reverb interface in the Master Effects tab of the Synthesiser dialogue.

BTW why are you not using the inbuilt Marching Percussion sounds in MuseScore 2.0.3?

These are optimised to work with MuseScore's version of FluidSynth and also are programmed in Instruments.xml to work out of the box.

The internal Marching Percussion sounds also have a wider range of samples such as rim and shell taps.
