I have a weird problem.
I was getting ready to upload the full version of Clockwork, and I finished. All I had to do was test and upload it. So I placed it in my mariopaintcomposer folder. I tried it, and it didn't work. No sound. No biggie, probably spelled it wrong or put in the wrong .sf2 file. But, I opened it up in Viena. Strangely, all the files were from another soundfont.
Hmm. Maybe I messed up? So, I took a file directly named Mario Paint Clockwork Back-Up.sf2. I opened it up in Viena before hand to make sure it was Clockwork. I renamed it soundset3 and placed it in the folder, and then nothing played. I was pretty upset, and was quite lucky I have around 5 back-up versions. I opened it up in Viena, and then ... the SAME soundfont. It's Cat333's Symphony, to be exact.
If it makes a difference, I keep two or three soundset(insert number other than 3 here) in the same mariopaintcomposer folder. Maybe it was a coincidental mistake. I'll try it again ... but I could almost swore that it was Clockwork before putting it in the folder ... Okay, I guess the Cat333 part was a mistake somehow. But it still won't play sound.
I open up Viena, play some test sounds, it works, then SAVE AS directly in the Mario Paint Composer folder within mariopaintcomposer folder as "soundset3".

The hosting site link you gave me has a broken link when it gives me the download access code... so I can't download it from that site. Please e-mail it to me at claybob8301@hotmail.com.

K. I have had this happen to me before. Can't explain why it happened. All I did to fix this and yours was open a new preset that I knew worked, deleted all of the presets, then purged all instruments and samples and copied your presets over to the new file, and voila, it works now. I e-mailed you back a copy of your working sf2. I do not know if this affects the problem, but make sure to rename the old default soundset3.sf2 to something else or delete it before importing your new sf2 file into MPC folder. I called your file Luckys.sf2, copy it into the folder after you delete the old soundset3.sf2, then rename luckys to soundset3.sf2 and it should be good to go.
As a side note though, your gameboys, flowers, and swans are in different keys and do not play as written. Do not know if this is intentional. Otherwise, a pretty cool soundset.

I've found that sometimes in Viena, purging renders the soundfont unusable. This has happened for me when I've purged Cat's Symphony, or the soundfont that comes with Mario Paint, or any soundfont using instruments from them. Not sure why it only happens for those two... Maybe it's because Cat's Symphony has samples in stereo? The purging removes some of those, as they don't seem to be used when they actually are. You may be having a similar problem.
