Currently 2 sampler engines are includedin Zynthian:
- LinuxSampler => SFZ and GIG soundfont formats
- FluidSynth >= SF2 soundfont format
Synth engines in Zynthian support Soundfonts in various file formats.
Zynthian includes the Salamander Piano soundfont in SFZ format. It's >1 GB! You can use SFZ and GIG font with the LinuxSampler engine, that reads the samples directly from the SD card, preloading only a small part of the file and using an advanced caching system. In that way you can use a soundfont bigger than the available amount of RAM.
Soundfont files are typically stored in this directory on your Zynthian:
/zynthian/zynthian-my-data
One needs to place GIG files into a subfolder in the
/zynthian/zynthian-my-data/soundfonts/gig
