'''a real-time software synthesizer based on the SoundFont 2 specifications.'''
+
One of zynthian's primary instrument weapons. It handles sf2 sample files which can contain a range of samples.
+
+
'''Pianos, organs, strings, harpsichords, marimbas, guitars, bass'''
+
+
So you have access to the many sf2 files that are out there providing ranges of samples to impersonate almost any instrument one could model from a western 12 note scale!
+
+
Most people will simply load up the appropriate files and use them exactly as is and the zynthian parameters

For instance I have 8 church bells in a sf2 file allocated to the keys of the F major scale which plays the appropriate sound when pressed.
