Polyphone Description
Using a musical instrument along with a computer can greatly enhance its performance. These work with specialized sound formats in order to minimize latency and assure a smooth quality. Specialized applications are required to edit such files, one suitable example being Polyphone, which lets you both create and edit soundfont files.
Well-organized interface
The application’s main window is organized to provide quick access to elements your file contains, as well as a large enough workspace for you to visualize and edit wavelength. The upper toolbar contains basic navigation and creation functions, with the possibility to customize it with what comes in handy.
Once your file is loaded, it’s spread into samples, instruments and presets. You can create as many new items as you see fit and link them together. Based on samples, which are WAV files, you can alter create instruments that can bound to synthesizer keys either manually or automatically.
Several sets of tools
An instrument can contain one or more samples and in the same manner, presets hold instruments. You can use WAV files saved locally, or use an integrated recorder to get ahold of new ones. Loops are an important aspect when editing samples, because you might want the sound to last a little longer while a specific key is pressed on the synthesizer.
The application comes equipped with several tools dedicated for each of the three major elements. Just as samples can benefit from volume normalization, balance adjustment or auto loop, you can use mixture creation, sound spatialization for instruments, as well as division duplication or visualization for presets.
Thorough editing of samples
A few more tools are available for each and even global ones to link or unlink stereo samples, remove unused elements or adjust minimal attenuation. What’s more, samples can further be edited with an implemented equalizer or adjusting reverb and chorus related effects.
To end with
Taking everything into consideration, we can say that Polyphone gives you the possibility to add new sound to your synthesizer. A lot of testing needs to be done because of the abundance of numerical value requirements. The overall design is intuitive enough, while the provided end result leaves nothing more to be desired.
