Could someone point me to the easiest way to change a preset to be mapped an octave higher. I have a nice acoustic bass SoundFont but I would like the option to go down an octave without having to press the octave down button on the midi keyboard itself. I have tried editing the Instrument down -12 semitones but this gives an unnatural sound because it is playing say C3 bent down to C2 rather than playing a real C2 when I hit C3 (if this makes sense!). The soundfont is 78mb so I dont want to duplicate all the samples and change to root key (if this even works?) Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks, John
Thanks so much Davy - problem now sorted. I was unable to go into Transposition option because Key Ranges were not assigned in Instruments. If you are looking for a nice acoustic bass (with the option to play an octave lower!) you can now find it on my site in the Bass section. https://sites.google.com/site/soundfonts4u/
