Synths that load SF2 soundfonts

[djmino02]

Will Omnisphere load SF2 sound font files?

I tried loading some in Camel Audio Alchemy but it will only load sfz files.

I'd like to find a synth/sampler like Omnisphere or Alchemy that will load SF2 files that has features like Omnisphere and Alchemy. Any suggestions?

I use Ableton Live and also Reason.

Thanks!

Discovery Pro is a good choice.

Also, most of the late H.G. Fortune synths that are still available load soundfonts.

M42 synth, from Algomusic, once commercial, but now free, loads them.
Google where to find it, likely 'westgate sounds' as keywords

Crystal, a current One Synth challenge vehicle, also does.

Probably many more.

XenFont2 (can load two stereo SF2s), XenFont and One-SF2 from http://xen-arts.net also allow microtonal tunings.

Cool! I'll have to check those out. I have the HG Fortune plugins.

Which hg fortune plugins use soundfonts? I'm intrigued by that. He was a genius.

In developing his website, HG Fortune posted some abbreviations
(listed at the link above)
for his synths that use soundfonts, so users put put them
in the proper locations.

Here are savihosted Fortune plugins, and a soundfont collection
is in in the archive area somewhere, which has soundfonts that mention
which synth they are for, according to the poster.

Nice been looking for a 64bit soundfont player for a while now. Love SFZ+ but it was abandoned still at 32bit.
