I'm using Satoshilyish's Orchestra Soundfont for one of my upcoming pieces, and I want to raise one of the instruments up an octave. However, I have no idea how to go about in doing this. I'm aware of how the instrument will sound if I raise it, and I'm completely fine with it.
I've dabbled in soundfont-editting for my Wizpig piece, but I'm utterly stuck on how to do this. I use Viena, if that helps anybody.

To raise the octave you need recording software as well as a good method for sound editing.

In viena, you need to record the sound sample (as high quality audio as you can) and then open it in an audio editing software. then you raise the pitch by 12 semitones.
in awave it is easier because it is possible to extract sound samples with awave. but its only a 30 day trial, so you gotta decide whether its worth it.

I tried to use that awave thing, but I got lost. I'm not trying to sound like a mooch or anything like that, but would it be at all possible for you to raise one of the instruments' octaves for me (if, of course, you're not doing anything important at the time being)? You don't have to if you don't want to, but it would make my arrangement the more better.

Your Sound Sample + Sound Editing Software (Try Audacity, it's more user friendly) + Pitch Changing = Desired octave If only SatoshiLyish would come on more often... I kinda miss him, no updates, no new vids, and no new posts. I'm not sure how to get a separate sound sample out of the soundfont, though. Don't we all miss him?

Wait. FAR easier way (if you are still using Viena). Open up the SF2 file in Viena. Locate the instrument you want to alter on the Instruments list. For SatoshiLyish's fonts, there should be two entries for each. First, click the plus sign next to the one with a 0 on it. Select the Global option. To the right are two or three panels. The sixth row says "Root Key". On the second and column (if there are three, both second and third), do one of these: - If there IS a number, increase it by 12. Repeat on the other entry on the Instruments list with a 1. - If there IS NOT a number, try putting in numbers around 40-60. Put the same number on the other entry on the Instruments list with a 1. Then click the fifth C from the left. That is middle C in MPC. A little bit of trial and error is necessary.
(And of course, click the Save button at the top when MPC is NOT open; otherwise, you'll lose all of your work.)
Regardless of which way you have to use, it's still far more accurate and far easier than ripping/recording the samples and sticking them back in.

So that's what that one does...
