Find here all information you need about soundfont and ask questions. A soundfont defines the instrument sounds associated with each MIDI note according to the selected instrument. To understand the difference between MIDI and soundfont, imagine a book: the story, if it's a novel, corresponds to the MIDI (the melody). The text font used (character shapes, spacing, etc.) corresponds to soundfont. You can write a story with different fonts - it's the same with MIDI and soudfont! (edited)

from @FalconEagle What versions of Soundfonts is best to use in MPTK? Soundfont 2 or 3? Also is there a tutorial on how to create soundfonts from Ableton?

from @Thierry SF3 is just SF2 with vorbis compression. But Unity compresses samples to vorbis when importing SF, so SF3s are not useful for MPTK ... and are not that common.

From @Thierry Ableton is a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) used for composing music like Cubase, Logic, Cakewalk ... the list could be huge. Some of them used soundfont for playing sound associated to each notes. If not they used samples directly published with the DAW. Other tools are dedicated to the creation of soundfont.

Quick start Adding a SoundFont with MPTK is easy. A quick summary could be: Download a SoundFont from the large number of web site which propose SoundFont. Go to the menu Maestro Unity menu: SoundFont Setup Click on button Import Read more…

Thank you Thierry for posting this information. Very helpful to understand the process of creating soundfonts.

I have a project that needs to generate pure sine waves and also be able to modulate Volume, frequencies, etc. Essentially the functionality of an LFO. In Ableton, this is the "Operator" instrument. Do you know if this is feasible with MPTK?

Perhaps with a preset which hold a sine wave, trigger an infinite note and apply change like volume and fine coarse.

Sadly, I m travelling with no equipment. Perhaps I will be able next week to answer more deeper.

Ah interesting idea. What do you think about the idea of using a wave table somehow.
