Tutorial: Using Soundfonts in Piggy (Page 1 of 3)

OK: when you use a soundfont, it's the only thing you'll use in the project? Like, cant use 2 soundfonts or a soundfont and some samples (monowavezzzz)?

One does simply drop a soundfont in the sample folder and magic does the rest?

Also curious about this. Mixing piggy chip samples with ST-01 woe be super fun!

What went wrong? Did you see the one in the tutorial link?

If it isn't clear, you need to use the latest ghettos to have this feature.

There is an st-01 soundfont? Link?

Is there a convenient way to make Soundfonts on Mac OSX? I rather like the idea of compiling instruments myself on my laptop then loading into Piggy.

Basic XRNI support would be lovely (esp given Renoise's new seamless looping calculator thing, which makes non-clicking loops ridiculously super-easy) but a long shot, I appreciate...

I had a quick look at it. It works very nicely; the looper in Renoise basically builds some extra audio information at the end of the sample and then calculates some seamless loop start and end points.

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

The others soundfonts worked, but this one was just clicks for each and every instrument, although they seemed to work perfectly in Viena. Fuck, when I find the link I'll send you.

Update:

It's not a NES or SNES soundfont, but a gxscc:
