You will see that Sforzando produces output at the highest quality-level possible for the instrument of your choice. I challenge everyone to see for himself: open up the Sforzando standalone, load it with any piano-or-string (like violin or cello) Sf2 or Sfz instrument, then load and play any small midi file. I'm really hoping this issue can be addressed, because Sforzando (by Plogue) is such a widely-used utility, and considered very important by many music-producers yet its output quality is greatly reduced when it is loaded into Vestige, in LMMS. There are many far smaller piano sfz's and sf2's available online to download, though. You will probably not want to download it simply to test this issue, however, because it's over 4 GB - but it's found here: The one which most dramatically demonstrates this strange defect is the IVY AUDIO Piano sfz - which is my favorite. You can verify this using any piano sf2 or sfz file. However, when many piano sf2's and sfz's (and some other instruments, as well) are loaded into Sforzando - though they sound perfect when playing the Sforzando keyboard - their volume is dramatically reduced (and sometimes the sound is muffled and dead) when the exact same notes are played on the Vestige keyboard, the LMMS piano roll, and the LMMS Sound Editor. It typically does a fantastic job of playing those sounds and usually LMMS will faithfully output those audio signals generated by Sforzando when it is loaded into Vestige. I'm using the latest Plogue Sforzando, (found here: ) which I believe is the only SFZ player recommended for LMMS, and which, as far as I know, can only be used in LMMS by loading it into Vestige. So I hope somebody has some good ideas on how I can resolve this issue. The Ivy Audio piano is so beautiful and realistic-sounding - it's a shame I can't get that beautiful sound out of it when I'm using LMMS. But now I'm experiencing the same above-described issue on my brand-new computer (Windows 7, 16 GB RAM, i7 4 GHz processor). I never mentioned this in the past, because I used to think maybe it was an issue with my old computer (Windows XP, 4GB RAM). When I have Sforzando loaded into Vestige, notes played on the Sforzando keyboard should sound exactly the same when they are played back and exported by LMMS. There are other sound fonts in which the same issue occurs and there are many soundfonts which sound very good when LMMS plays them from Sforzando. So Vestige and/or LMMS are somehow changing (degrading) the tone of the audio signal being played by Sforzando inside Vestige. (For example, the Ivy Audio piano sounds superb when played on the Sforzando keyboard, inside Vestige - but it sounds horrible and much lower volume when LMMS plays it back or exports it as a wav file.) When I load Sforzando into Vestige, and then load certain SFZ files into Sforzando, the musical tones sound wonderful when played on the Sforzando keyboard, but it sounds terrible when played on the Vestige Instrument editor keyboard, or in the LMMS piano roll, or played back and exported as a wav file by LMMS. I've always noticed this, so I have finally decided to mention it and ask for a solution. I added a soundfont file (General Midi Soundfont from.
