I would very much like to try it. However, I don't know the most about soundfonts and how to use them. I downloaded the soundfont and imported it into qsynth, to play with my external MIDI keyboard. Is this the way you yourself would use the soundfont (with qsynth)? Or would you load the soundfont into some other software or hardware? In qsynth, the base layer (piano) is triggered on MIDI channel 1, and the other velocity layers (piano layer 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5) are assigned (by default, anyway) to MIDI channels 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. So, I'm wondering how to trigger the velocity layers. Perhaps this is not something qsynth can do. I don't know, because I have mostly used external hardware, MIDI tone generators, and for piano, the piano samples by William Coakley for the Yamaha Motif Rack and the Roland Fantom XR tone generators. However, I would very much like to try to use your soundfont, if it is possible. Thanks again for your efforts and for this gift to the Linux and open-source world.
