SoundFont for Treble Viol, Tenor Viol, & Violone?
So far I have found 2 SoundFonts with an Alto Viol & a Bass Viol. https://github.com/ox-it/resounding/blob/master/soundfont/alto_viol.sf2 https://github.com/ox-it/resounding/blob/master/soundfont/bass_viol.sf2 but that's NOT enough to make a composition for 5 Viola Da Gambas. Can anyone please help me find some SoundFonts with a Treble Viol, Tenor Viol, & Violone? If you did, then I would be very happy about that!

When I downloaded those same files a while back, I manually rearranged the bass viol notes on Polyphone to give it the sound and range of a violone (i.e. rearranging root keys and ranges). I would recommend doing the same to make a treble viol as well.
The alto viol has a sound quite similar to that of a regular viola da braccio. Same thing with a treble viol and a violin. As far as I'm concerned, there is no (free) sample bank for a consort of viols. I would just simply edit it manually.

Thanks for helping me out! Are you saying that I have to change the notes or the range of the instrument to make them sound like a Treble Viol, Tenor Viol, and Violone?

Both. For example, if you wanted to turn D3 into D2, you would edit the range from 50 to 38, with the latter as your root key.

Also, I've added these Instruments including the Pardessus De Viole because I've changed the range of the instrument. Instead of D3, I've replaced it with G3 as well as the other notes. Speaking of which, I've created an SFZ Collection with Period Instruments I have found so far. Here's the link to download the collection. https://www.dropbox.com/s/ofd91yjt6guwtje/Early%20Music%20Ensemble%20SF…
You can also convert these SFZ Files to SF2 Format in Polyphone and put them in your Musica Barocca SoundFont too!
