Open the large multi-instrument SoundFont in Polyphone, then select Home, New, add a Title and Save (top left parallel bars), Save As. If you just want one or two instruments from a large SoundFont then follow this procedure. Close the SoundFont you don't want then save. Simply open two SoundFonts (Home button top left), Go to the preset you want, right-click Copy, go to the other soundfont Presets and left-click the preset heading, then Ctrl V to Paste. You can also use Polyphone to combine SoundFonts. The reduction in size will depend upon which samples are being used/shared between the various presets. Save the New SoundFont (Top Right parallel bars, Save As, rename it if you wish). Go to General, Tools Icon, Remove Unused Elements, OK. Right Click on any Presets you don't want. Open the SoundFont with Polyphone (double-click it). (Windows, Mac OSX and Linux versions available) or just click the link at the top to go to the site.
Its very simple to do.ĭownload the free Polyphone program from here: You can customize it with just a few mouse clicks by using the free SoundFont editing program Polyphone. Suppose you like a particular SoundFont but you wish it was a bit smaller and didn't include certain sounds.
