Hello,

Can anybody please help on this issue:

I am trying to load multiple soundfonts and using sfpassign to generate
corresponding indices to be used in sfplay as below:

gifile1	sfload	   "<>"
gifile2	sfload	   "<>"
gifile3	sfload	   "<>"
.
.
.

sfpassign 1000, gifile1
sfpassign 2000, gifile2
sfpassign 3000, gifile3
.
.
.
With these starting indices, sfplay doesn't work. However, if I change the
above lines to smaller numbers, it works.

For example, this works:
sfpassign 0, <>
sfpassign 300, <>

But for the third soundont's starting index, it doesn't work. 
sfpassign 600, <>

I want to leave a safe distance between these numbers so that they have no
chance of overlapping hence I initially started out with 1000,2000,....

Steven Yi has just pointed out that the limit for sfpassign starting index
is 512. Is there a workaround to this problem? The issue is that a typical
GM/GS soundfont contains around 230-250 presets. So it would seem that I am
stuck with two soundfonts maximum (I want to avoid using sfpreset). Thanks.

Regards,

Azfar

So, no workaround then for this, John?

Sorry, I should have mentioned that before but I am using Csound for iOS and
fluid synth being a DLL is not available in that.

Is there any particular reason behind the limit being 512?

OK, I've increased the max presets, arbitrarily,  to 16384. Is that enough?
In git develop branch now.

I am using Csound for iOS v 5.19.02.2. My whole project is based on that
version. Could you be kind enough to touch that as well?

Sorry to ask but can please point me towards the git location? I can't seem
to find it. Thanks.

Azfar

I am an absolute illiterate Victor when it comes to git and building. Just so
you know why I am asking these directions:)

This is Csound 6, and we will be releasing a new version just after Christmas, which will contain this change.
I am sorry but we do not maintain Csound 5 anymore. I suggest that you move your project to Csound 6 to take
advantage of any new updates etc.
