Okay, so I just recently started playin around with Audacity and it's like a really awesome program that you can choose different effects for a bunch of audio samples and pooe and something brilliant occurred to me. you can line up different audio samples side by side and play em together, so I'm like "Dude... I could maybe make a soundfont with this" I dunno about you guys, but I just... HATE the 5-note limit, so I thought of unique way of fixing this. I could put a common combo of instruments as one preset, which could help the breakdown of the 5-note limit. But I'd still want to keep some instruments alone by themselves in case you'd want to use that instrument for a solo or something. So some instruments would have to go if you want the combo to come in. I may make a 2nd poll later, but for right now, I'd like you guys to tell me your top 2 favorite instrument combos below, and vote for which instrument you use least often.

nice idea, but why not just use a MIDI sequencer that can produce beyond the five note polyphony? If you did it the way you are describing, you are going to have to create a TON of soundfont sample combinations. What might be cool, though, is creating them in 6th's, 3rd's, 8va's and 5ths, thought that itself is complicated already. Good luck!

It takes two seconds to replace a preset, so as long as you can give people access to the ones you're thinking of making, it shouldn't matter what instrument is used least often

I have like no clue what tombob's talkin about but I kinda get what bally's sayin. But, there maybe some composers that know how to switch soundfonts, but have no idea how to use viena or swap presets and stuff. I myself know very little about viena... The only things I know how to do is raise/lower octaves, change preset positions, and export sample files... that's pretty much it

It's not hard to learn. I've got a tutorial uploaded on how to do it anyway.

Tom's right actually. You'd have to make sooo many samples. An 8va option would be so welcome though. I can't tell you how many times that would have helped me.

I have no idea what a 8va even is lol 8va is an octave mark (one octave higher) 15ma is two octaves higher replace the a with b and you go lower |

My least used instruments are coin and boo.
EDIT 18/4/16 I like the coin and boo and the effects it can do, my least favourites are now cat and yoshi.
