I'm trying to grasp the hierarchy in soundfonts.
Polyphone shows samples, instruments, and presets. From fmjsoft.com:
This helps, suggesting a simpler relationship, ie..If you are used to the naming conventions of the Vienna 2.0 editor, then the following small 'dictionary' may be useful:
Awave Studio Vienna 2
instrument preset
layer instrument
region instrument zone
waveform sample
{sic} You have presets, that detail how each instrument is to be loaded.
Each instrument preset specifies which instrument to be used with which regions
(Here I created a new preset, copying the preset name of preset #1, "Roland Tam Tam". I then changed it to Preset #21 (Program Change 21).
Awave Studio Vienna 2 (Polyphone, et al)
layer instrument
So with the Roland Orchestral Rhythm font there's 20 instruments + presets (a one-to-one mapping, makes sense).
The help file tells us the pane holds a 'collection' of synthesizer instruments as a hierarchical tree of 'instruments', 'layers' and 'regions'.
With Awave I see that instrument #1, the Tam Tam, has 4 layers, and each layer has 4 regions...
So how do I use these 4 layers?
Looking at the properties for each layer, courtesy of Awave, I see the each layer uses a different waveform/sample.
layer 1 region 1 uses TamTamHi_do(L)
layer 2 region 1 uses TamTamHi_do(R)
