Hello people,

i am struggling with the difference between sfplay and sfinstr. I don't get
it. Maybe there is someone who is experienced in the subject.
This is the example i try:



; Select audio/midi flags here according to platform
; Audio out   Audio in    No messages
-odac           -iadc     -d   -M0     ;;;RT audio I/O, midi in
; For Non-realtime ouput leave only the line below:
; -o sfinstrm.wav -W ;;; for file output any platform



sr         = 44100
ksmps = 100
nchnls = 2

isf	sfload	"/media/LAC/VintageDreamsWaves-v2.sf2"
;	sfilist		isf
	sfplist	1
;	sfpassign	0, isf

	instr 1
; play from score and midi keyboard
	mididefault		60, p3
	midinoteonkey	p4, p5
inum	init	p4
ivel	init	p5
print	ivel

ivel	init	3*(ivel/127)					; pre-amplify
kamp	linsegr	1,1,1,.1,0
kfreq	init	1						;do not change freq from sf
a1, a2	sfinstr3	ivel, inum, kamp*ivel, kfreq, 1, 0
	outs	a1, a2
	
	endin
	


f0  60				; stay active for 1 minute

i1 0 1 60 100
i1 + 1 62 <
i1 + 1 65 <
i1 + 1 69 10




  and this is what i get back:


SoundFont file "/media/LAC/VintageDreamsWaves-v2.sf2" contains ROM samples !
At present time only RAM samples are allowed by sfload.
Session aborted !

What is this?
And when does one use sfplay and sfinstr ?

thank you,
Menno

That SF2 bank does not work. Maybe we should include a more useful  
one, such as the GM ones DrB. has released.

ah, that explains why it does not work. I do not have permission to remove
"VintageDreamsWaves-v2.sf2" from /csound5/samples. Will you do it?
I have found the soundfonts Dr.B. released; are they GPL and can they be
included in the /manual/examples ?

Menno

OK, I've removed that file and replaced it with sf_GMbank.sf2, from  
Dr.B's collection.
