Re: [fluid-dev] About linked sample in the SoundFont2.04 specs

>“ What happens if there is an instrument with two zone, one zone containing a left sample and pitch generators, the other zone containing right sample? Do they ignore the pitch generators?

 

Each Instrument Zones are instancied by independent "voices" in the synthesizer. In your example at noteon 2 voices wil be started (one voice per instrument zone). Each voice have (modulators, a sample wave table , lfos, adsrs, filter....).

What the spec say is related to one zone (i.e one voice) at a time. For one voice making use of linked sample spec section 7.10 is relevant (i.e 2 samples are played simultaneously, but both should be controlled only by one pitch generator (i.e the right one).

 

>What about pitch modulators?

This is independent to previous question. Pitch modulator(s) should modulate pitch generator (regardless this generator controls one or two sample).
