i dont have a chance to look, but did you set the keyb range for each sample to be assigned to each key only?

here is a good tutorial:

The workaround is to edit the soundfont or use one with less instruments.

Good work! Was about to do the same...

I'm sure XRNI is at the top of no-one's wishlist, but it would tally very nicely with how I'm using Piggy these days - as both a sketchpad and live tool for projects I either start in LGPT and finish in Renoise, or vice versa smile

I've loaded some 'treated' samples from Renoise into Piggy; you have to translate the loop start and end points from hex or something into whatever Piggy needs which is fiddly, but it works fine. However, it would be a *lot* quicker if Piggy could just read the XRNI metadata wink

Is there a wiki on this file format? Ill create a feature request.

It's not a NES or SNES soundfont, but a gxscc:
http://www.mediafire.com/?jnmwnzqnmht

Is that a zip with just the gxscc soundfont? Where are you loading it, perhaps its a memory issue.

If anyone cares to share a font that doesnt work we can file a bug report around it, the same for the not being able to add samples after save thing.
