Hi Frank,
I can also change volumes in OMB. I might check some of Michaels programs as well, just in case they're easier.

The individual drums ( velocity ) appears to be the biggest problem.

I spent a bit of time with Alive software yesterday. I noticed my Synergi Fonts were a bit all over the place ie some of the drums were in Bank0 instead of bank128 etc. Don't know if something went wrong with my initial download or whether i did something wrong. Anyway , not to worry, gave me good experience in learning how to replace and move fonts round the folders and create my own. Also strangely enough, to me , the smaller gm bank, sounded better with some of the styles than the larger gs bank. Probably me just imaginig things.

I've decided to try and do a bit of editing on the individual drums ( try and match the volumes more closely to my xg drum sounds ). In that way I may be able to use the same style for my piano's xg as well as for the soundfonts. )
In some ways it's probably easier to fix up the drum volumes in the font, than to try and fix up each individual style. ( At least I hope that's the case haahaa).


best wishes
Rikki

With respect to changing volumes you can change volumes within the styles by using one of M. Bedesem's programs. This would be the easist way to change the balance of all your instruments. I do believe you can change the volume level of each instrument or sample wave within Soundfaction Alive or Vienna. This would normally be done in the volume envelop parameters (delay, attack, hold, sustain, release, initial attenuation and so on). I am not certain how well this would work to trim the volumes of the individual drum instruments (hi-hat) within a drumkit. You could always give this a try. This could be tedious work!!!
