An awesome trick.

[Brongaa]

I just found an awesome glitch in the Orchestra soundfont.

You know the Dog that's a trombone? Go check out the top the 2 notes, the B and the C. I just realized, while composing my K-Rool battle theme, that it had too high of a note range for me to finish it properly. I also realized, that the two highest the dog notes are a direct continuation of the highest note on the Flower(trumpet), which means, that it's a D and an E, same with the sharps and flats on those notes/. Just remember to mute it during fast trumpet parts with another dog so it doesn't mess it up.

I don't know if anyone already found it, because I haven't seen anyone use it, but it's helping me. Alot.

So now I could finish my K-Rool Battle (DK64) composition!...

But seriously, hope it helps.

I've been seeing that alot recently in a lot of soundfonts. Another similar one is in the original soundfont; The star is a continuation of the mario.

I don't think you get my point.

The dog isn't a continuation. Only the 2 highest notes are.

The rest of the dog is trombone or something.

Actually, the dog is just the trumpet lowered two octaves. The highest dog note you can do before it jumps is the low a (I think that's what it's called) The higher notes were in case instead of going down, you neede to go up.

-With the Electronica soundfont, the Cat is a Pig raised an octave. Planes sound similar to Hearts raised an octave.

-With the Real 2.0 soundfont, the Star is similar to a Cat raised an octave.

-With the original soundfont, the Star is very similar to a Mario Head raised an octave.

[Colin Comard (Delay)]

and that the B and C are unnecesary for the dog and others lowered two octaves anyway. So he thought he's get rid of the overlap and be useful.

[bally]

Very useful. I found myself needing those extensions on pretty much every song I ever made with that soundfont.

I've noticed these things in many soundfonts. I THINK I've used it in -- no, just thought of it, I used it in the unreleased Secret of Mana -- Danger piece.
