Hello! I'm making a soundfont archive using Polyphone, and I've noticed that there is no ability to change the gain/volume of a sample in Polyphone. This is an integral feature, and it makes no sense to me why it's not already available. I've already taken thousands of samples for the archive, but they sound quieter in Polyphone and in SF2 than they are. If there were a way to fix this with a slider for samples, either by individual or by mass, it would make workloads easier. I know this is technically already possible with the EQ sliders, but it isn't. The EQ is just peaks. You can manipulate the peaks, but that still leaves gaps that can ruin sample fidelity. Adding a volume or gain slider, which can be applied to samples either by group or individually, should be relatively simple to implement. The UI for it is already there with the EQ sliders, and there's room for it to be implemented in the UI on the sample editor. The math required for a simple gain/amplitude equation can also be done with relative ease. This is a feature that makes things easier on the user and improves the workflow for archivists or those who are making several hundred different soundfonts.
Thank you for your time.
Select the samples, click the "Toolbox" icon at the top, and select "Change Volume."
The "Normalize" option is an easy way to equalize the volume of the samples.
80% or 85% is safe.
Avoid 100% because dropouts can occur later, even if they aren't visible at first.
