How to make cannon sounds

• Apr 7, 2025 - 06:10

I want to make a cannon sound in musescore4. However, there is no cannon in the instrument selection menu in musescore4.

In musescore4, its sound source is musehub, so I contacted musehub and they said that I can use the cannon sound as well. However, their explanation was too difficult to understand.

We, as musescore4 users, would like to know how we can make cannon sounds, including the relation with musehub.
Thank you in advance.

Well, since we don't know what "their explanation" is, it's difficult to advise you.

When I have a score with a cannon, I just use a doubled bass drum.

The email address I used at the time is no longer valid, so I can't see the reply from musehub.
The reply said that it probably ”wasn't a plugin”.
Not understanding what a plugin meant, I gave up.

Yes I do. I also use two drums as a cannon, but I don't think there's anything better than a cannon.

Send them another email and explain the situation: you received but lost a previous email with instructions on how to get this. In addition, you didn't understand it, so could they please send you the instructions again and please clarify.

If you still don't understand, we'll try to help.

But I suspect it's going to be something on the order of "find a soundfont that includes a cannon".
