You can use SFZ and GIG fonts with the '''LinuxSampler''' & '''Sfizz''' engines, which reads the samples directly from the SD card, preloading only a small part of the file using an advanced caching system. That way you can use a soundfont bigger than the available amount of RAM. For loading SF2 & SF3 sounfont files you should use the FluidSynth engine.

Soundfont files are typically stored in this directory on your Zynthian:  

Pre-loaded soundfont files are stored in this directory on your Zynthian:

 

User-loaded files should be stored in this directory:

  /zynthian/zynthian-my-data/soundfonts

  /zynthian/zynthian-my-data/soundfonts

You have a subfolder for each soundfont type. Like this:

In either case, there is a subfolder for each soundfont type:

* /zynthian/zynthian-my-data/soundfonts/sf2

* sf2

* /zynthian/zynthian-my-data/soundfonts/sfz

* sfz

* /zynthian/zynthian-my-data/soundfonts/gig

* gig

And inside the ''sfz'' & ''gig'' subfolders there are "bank" subfolders, like this:

And inside the ''sfz'' & ''gig'' subfolders there may be "bank" subfolders, like this:

* /zynthian/zynthian-my-data/soundfonts/sfz/bass

* Bass

* /zynthian/zynthian-my-data/soundfonts/sfz/keys

* Brass

* /zynthian/zynthian-my-data/soundfonts/sfz/pads

* Drums

* /zynthian/zynthian-my-data/soundfonts/sfz/strings

* Pianos

Note that inside ''sf2'' subfolder there is no banks because every "sf2" file is considered a bank on its own.

Note that inside ''sf2'' subfolder there are no bank folders because every "sf2" file is considered a bank on its own.  This "banks" layer of organization is optional.
