Soundfont info bug?

Russ · Feb 15, 2008, 03:50 PM

It seems that number of Presets, Instruments, and Samples shown for loaded soundfonts is off by 1 (1 extra shown for each) on the Soundfont page of kxmixer.

confirmed - kX reports 1 more than what Vienna statistics reports - tho, which one is correct - I'll assume Russ is correct and kX is reporting incorrectly..

(maybe kX is incorrectly counting a '0' (zero) position..??)

Yeah, I checked with Vienna as well, and it is hard to imagine that Vienna is wrong, when you load a SF with only one instrument/preset and it shows as much, while kX shows two.

Looking in the SDK, it appears that there is a marker at the end of the lists (i.e. EOP at the end of the preset list) that is being counted, and I guess the info on the SF page does not account for this.

Are you saying that the kX Mixer SF page does not use the SDK function you speak of... that seems strange to me... ??

No, there is an extra item (i.e. (for presets) a preset called EOP, which is not a real preset) at the end of the list(s), that marks the end of the list(s), and it appears that this extra item is being counted (thus one extra).

I am not talking about any specific function, as we do not see any of the code that actually parses the soundfonts, etc. I am just going by the info in soundfont.h and the fact that Presets, Instruments, and Samples in sfHeader (which I would guess is what is used for the SF page) shows one extra item count for each.

i.e. I am just guessing here at why the count is off, but there is no way for me to know for sure, since I do not have the source code.
