Otherwise - the polyphony can be split between seperate channels (as is SFZ) (all thats really happening is a MIDI merge) |
Uh... yeah? Wasn't that what I said? A soundfont file can contain hundreds of different patches. One instance of SFZ can play back 16 of those simultaneously, on 16 different midi channels, like a classic sound module.
SFZ can't load multiple sf2 files though, if that's what you're getting at. But since you can load as many instances of it as your DAW will allow, that is not a huge problem.
