Well, take the new .sf2 and name it soundset3.sf2. Nothing else. then take the old .sf2 and name it something else, as long as it has .sf2 on the end. Now take the new .sf2 and put it in the same folder as Mario Paint Composer. Hope the helped :)
oh, I suppose I could do that, although I don't have any place to get high quality recordings of the extra sounds, so the only thing I would do is fix the volume on them. The reason I kept it the way it is now is because I wanted to keep it strictly all Mario Paint sounds. (My Mochi soundfont is the only one that strictly coheres with what the original Mario Paint would sound like, hence the extra work with the boats and mushrooms)
I really liked the orchestra set (I do think that you took my aforementioned idea :P) and I plan to use it when I make future compositions. However, there was one major flaw that made me shrug it off- all the notes are sustained far too long. A little sustain (as in MPlus v1.0e) is nice, and I know that this was intended for use with low A, but I really don't want to x12 the tempo and have a silent, confusing kalimba or choir baby (my idea again, laughs) every other beat. Otherwises, I like it.
Well, if you think its too long, and don't want to cut it abruptly you can always use the volume controls and gradually fade it out. The long held out note actually comes in pretty handy for some songs. Also, if I shorten the duration then I don't have room for the vibrato effects, so..in this set its here to stay.
Actually, I was working on a midi version of that song back in June. I finished halfway then I stopped working on it. (I didn't find it suitable in MPC at the time since I couldn't sustain notes...well that's certainly changed hasn't it?)
lol, I find that a bit ironic. Perhaps we have similar tastes in music?
I hate youtube. I try to fix but it only keeps messing up the download link. try copying and pasting it in your browser and fix any spaces that are in the link, and it should work.
YouTube likes to be a bitch, doesn't it? Right now the problems I'm having with YouTube seems to be involved with the YouTube Multi Uploader and some text issues.
I downloaded the soundfont and renamed it to soundset, but Vista wouldn't replace the other one. I deleted the original (it was sitting in the recycle bin), but then the new soundfont didnt work. I restored the original, and it went back to the original sounds. So then I went to you for help :D. And BTW I did read the Readme.
I'm hoping Vista still has similar commands as 2k and XP, so try on the folder, Tools, Options, View tab, and uncheck the box "Hide file extensions for known file types"
After OKing that, double check and make sure the file extension says .sf2 along with the new soundset. I'm thinking it got messed up somewhere along the line there.
yeah, it is..its the fault of MPC itself and not the soundfont. You can get around it though by having a low volume high C# (or low Bb, that glitches as well) right after the offending note. It'll still play, just quietly, so it won't interfere with the music.
You have switch the soundset.sf2 in the Mario Paint Composer PC Folder with the one of your choice from the Zip Folder. Rename the the new Soundset "soundset.sf2", just how I spelled it in the quotes.
Upon further examining (mo' like listening to how it makes the sound I'm making much more awesome), I'd say Gameboys needs a little volume boost too.They were pretty strong instruments in the original Mario paint composer, but now they're sounding a bit too weak. Aside from that, I'd say it's perfect.
I'm sorry. What you're trying to say just doesn't compute. It's MY fault that you opened the soundfont in notepad because you couldn't follow directions?
That makes as much sense as blaming Santa because you decided to open your present with a sledgehammer instead of pulling the ribbon. (oh, and fyi, Santa isn't real. I hope that didn't spoil anything for you.)
If you seriously want to get this to work, redownload the soundfont package, reread and follow (most important part) all directions, and just maybe everything will work out for you. At this point I can't guarantee anything.
The most trivial problem in the world, and you cannot fix it. Do you use the computer for anything else besides the internet? Just download 7-zip, WinRAR, any free compression program, and extract the sound font from the zip file. You DON'T use notepad because words DO NOT equal sound, got that? Now I have to go take some asprin because you're trying to be annoying, and it's actually getting to me.
In the MPC folder (the folder with MPC in it, not the folder before or any folder after), you should find a file called "soundset.sf2". Backup that file and replace it with the desired sound font. You also have to rename the new sound font to soundset.
No, they're sound fonts. Sound fonts are a collection of sounds, I thought you might have gotten that from the word SOUND fonts. Do you think you can create sounds with letters, symbols and numbers? I told you the name of the file, it's not in the folder "prefs", it's in the folder "Mario Paint Composer". The sound font is called "soundset.sf2", do you understand?
yay. I know I could purposely tune all the instruments in equal temperament but I'm not sure how most people would react to it. I definitely have another project in mind to add to this, so stay tuned. :) (of course, maybe I'd be the only one interested in it)
Ideas for new soundfront sounds: Mario= Piano Mushroom= Drum (What else?) Yoshi= Bells Starman= Choir Vocals Flower= Trumpets Game Boy= Synth Pad? Dog= Power Guitar Cat= Tuba Pig= Violin Swan= Baby= Plane= Harp (Not the single tone one, one that STRUMS!) Ship= Cymbals Car= Whistle
It's not working correctly for me. Only the original Soundset seems to work, for some reason. After replacing it with one of your soundsets, the only sound it makes is the clicking sound for when I start and stop the songs. Any suggestions?
By original did you mean the one that comes with MPC? or my 1.05 soundfont?
The only reason I can think of that it would make the clicking sound and no music is that the soundfont was renamed incorrectly, or that it was placed in the wrong folder. Make sure one of my soundfonts is renamed "soundset.sf2" and is placed in the "Mario Paint Composer PC" directory along with the exe file.
I in general liked it, but the fading notes get overthrown by the other instruments like ships and mushrooms (except for the Mario, which is too overpowering). The swans sound out of tune (although they sound great, they could use some fixing). Also, the babys and animals sound weird with the echos. I think they shound go back to the way they were.
Other suggestions:
-change a baby completely to sound like choir vocalizing? That would be cool. :)
I did add extra power to the mushrooms and boats in general, and is probably the only instruments that aren't the same volume wise to everything else. That's because in general, the bass and treble need to be powerful enough to compete with the rest of the music. (its possible the boats are weaker compared to my previous update though)
the swans are a trouble area. they were REALLY out of tune before, but I thought this batch was more acceptable. And the animal echoes, I had the low A glitch in mind..there are possibly some new tricks you can do with the echo.
Honestly I'm scared of the idea of a face choir. Unless I was doing a horror composition, or an orgy of some kind, I'm staying faaar away from that ^^; I have been trying to get the dog to do that effect, but its hard to find the right loop point.
This is quite the thing to come back from vacation to find! Great stuff here. I downloaded 1.05 (not the echo one) and I can notice a great difference in the quality of the notes. The volume balancing is also welcome, but it may acutally be something I miss. If all of the instruments are the same volume, and individual notes can not be tweaked, then it will be difficult to make a cartain part of the song prominent.
For example my SM64 bomb-ob song relies on the fact that the gameboys are loud in order to hear the melody. I listened to it with the new soundfont and the melody seemed a bit drowned out. I don't think there's much you can do about this since MPC can't assign a volume for each note on a beat, but I still applaud you for your projects. I'm looking foward to some more edits in the future!
Oh but I just realised the 1.1e pack is just what I needed to make one of my favorite songs! Oh now I'm really excited! I guess a new effort we all have to put into composing is what soundset we have to use. Bravo!
I have a question, what would the dogs, cats, and pigs sound like if you extended their sound like the other instruments? I can't see extending the face or yoshi since it's more or less 2 parts, but those might sound interesting.
Also, part of the reason the notes might be getting sharp or flat is that you pared down the soundset. Yes, it had more sound samples than necessary, but if MPC has an improper tone-changing algorithm (it might), the additional anchor notes caused less dissonance.
it wasn't the sound configurations I changed, but there were actual wave files that weren't used anywhere in the set, so it was useless in keeping them.
As for the animals, I'm actually experimenting with it right now to get a good echo going. So for I simply "looped the samples" so you can get a repeat sound (2nd half of the Yoshis and the face)..it is a lot harder to get a hold note like the rest of the instruments due to them being a "voice" sample instead of something more synthesized.
I might note that in 1.1e I did get rid of the extra "tonal sounds" in order to shrink the size even more. The only reason the original author did that was so the notes wouldn't end up being too slow or too fast in the extreme low/high ends. But since I've created a set hold/decay timer with loop points, it isn't an issue.
I almost have 1.1e finished for another update. Need to finish tuning the Marios and Stars (both pitch and volume) and make some Mushrooms and Boat changes and it'll be set.
I just tried out 1.1e and the stars are still really out of tune (but don't worry about it too much) The new drums sound much crisper and VERY different, and the boats sound really nice. I think that a combination of this MP+ and the original MPC soundset will make the best songs.
by out of tune do you mean the resonance with the note? or that its louder than the others?
This was part of the dilemma I had, but basically any octaves that are higher will naturally be dominant in the song..I was tuning with that in mind and made sure two similar notes were on the same octave (ie Swan and Star, etc) and matched them within .25 db. The cats are probably too soft now though..but anyway, if I hear enough suggestions or complaints about it I'll tone down the star volume.
oh, okay. That would be a cinch to fix. I can adjust the cents of the wave file to tweak it as I please. More than likely though its the particular segment that I'm looping that's causing it to be out of tune.
What are you talking about? 1.05e kicks ass! I'm used it to test my Boulevard of Broken Dreams portion and it sounded great. I'm using the swans for distortion guitar. I haven't had any bad sounding things come from 1.05e yet.
Some of the voices are something close to 30 cents sharp or flat (creates oscillation or dissonance) Like I said, place a mario on highA and a star on midA and you can easily tell how far apart they are.
(Good luck with the fixings Satoshi, I'm excited =P)
Just used 1.05e for the first time. MAJOR tuning issues. Stars and flowers are higher than the marios gameboys planes and hearts. Try placing a mario on high A and a star on mid A.
if you place several notes in a row it can hold the note, but I integrated the fade effect with the flower..you would have to cut the note short using low A glitch to prevent the fade effect.
Hey, you know what would also be nice? If you could get rid of that clicking sound when pressing play. I'm sure I'm not the only MPC user who would appreciate that.
This is handy because I forgot my VGA to HDMI converter for my computer, so I got absolutely no composing done over the weekend, so I can test this pack out on a new composition.
*Excited for the new swans, hoping the boats are MUCH more prominent mid-range*
To be honest, the swans are going to take some getting used to (It seems their volume was increased or something, making it overpower other instruments even more than before), and low mario heads sometimes sound sour.
But of course, there's a lot of good along with the bad. This makes lengthy gameboys and flowers so easy; no volume control or high speeds needed. I'm going to probably miss planes being softer than other instruments, giving that much-needed soft harmony sound.
I realize the swans needed some tweaking when I was listening to ihasmario's Rickroll..the swans ended up being way too loud in the Extended version. Or, are you saying they're loud in the regular version also? I can always put out new versions with suggestions people have.
Regarding the Mario heads, are you saying they're out of tune?
I was testing the extended version above. The basic without extended notes... I'm enjoying and have no complaints.
As for the Mario heads in the extended version, there's something about them that seems off for notes... say, G and below? I don't know if it's a tonal discrepancy, I never was that great at picking out pitch.
The mario head is still the same sound as in the original, just extended?
I think I found the problem. I was looking at the looping points and for some reason when I save the file it gets slightly broken up...so it isn't a seamless loop. That's what's causing the dissonance to occur. I commend your good ears for picking that up ^^
*sigh* only thing is..if its happened to the Mario heads, then EVERYTHING ELSE is out of sync too. Stupid program..my work will never get finished at this rate..
Hey, this is nice, to have a link for people to download it, I like to modify the soundfont with real orchestra sounds, Guess I´ll have a look at your 1.0e
well, its not really Mario Paint unless you use its sounds. I know I'm starting to stretch it with modifying it with effects and such, but..this certainly will make compositions easier.

axelrod777 3 years ago
I have a question, what would the dogs, cats, and pigs sound like if you extended their sound like the other instruments? I can't see extending the face or yoshi since it's more or less 2 parts, but those might sound interesting.
Also, part of the reason the notes might be getting sharp or flat is that you pared down the soundset. Yes, it had more sound samples than necessary, but if MPC has an improper tone-changing algorithm (it might), the additional anchor notes caused less dissonance.

it wasn't the sound configurations I changed, but there were actual wave files that weren't used anywhere in the set, so it was useless in keeping them.
As for the animals, I'm actually experimenting with it right now to get a good echo going. So for I simply "looped the samples" so you can get a repeat sound (2nd half of the Yoshis and the face)..it is a lot harder to get a hold note like the rest of the instruments due to them being a "voice" sample instead of something more synthesized.

I might note that in 1.1e I did get rid of the extra "tonal sounds" in order to shrink the size even more. The only reason the original author did that was so the notes wouldn't end up being too slow or too fast in the extreme low/high ends. But since I've created a set hold/decay timer with loop points, it isn't an issue.
I almost have 1.1e finished for another update. Need to finish tuning the Marios and Stars (both pitch and volume) and make some Mushrooms and Boat changes and it'll be set.

I just tried out 1.1e and the stars are still really out of tune (but don't worry about it too much) The new drums sound much crisper and VERY different, and the boats sound really nice. I think that a combination of this MP+ and the original MPC soundset will make the best songs.

by out of tune do you mean the resonance with the note? or that its louder than the others?
This was part of the dilemma I had, but basically any octaves that are higher will naturally be dominant in the song..I was tuning with that in mind and made sure two similar notes were on the same octave (ie Swan and Star, etc) and matched them within .25 db. The cats are probably too soft now though..but anyway, if I hear enough suggestions or complaints about it I'll tone down the star volume.
SatoshiLyish 3 years ago
I guess the resonance; putting a high A Mario and a mid A star generates the same effect as theEvilGrimace described.
RehdBlob 3 years ago
oh, okay. That would be a cinch to fix. I can adjust the cents of the wave file to tweak it as I please. More than likely though its the particular segment that I'm looping that's causing it to be out of tune.

What are you talking about? 1.05e kicks ass! I'm used it to test my Boulevard of Broken Dreams portion and it sounded great. I'm using the swans for distortion guitar. I haven't had any bad sounding things come from 1.05e yet.

Some of the voices are something close to 30 cents sharp or flat (creates oscillation or dissonance) Like I said, place a mario on highA and a star on midA and you can easily tell how far apart they are.
(Good luck with the fixings Satoshi, I'm excited =P)

Just used 1.05e for the first time. MAJOR tuning issues. Stars and flowers are higher than the marios gameboys planes and hearts. Try placing a mario on high A and a star on mid A.

goes to show that I can't trust Awave's own tuning algorithm. I'll get right on it.

where do i have to put the files in to let it work?
Matmax14 3 years ago
place them in the Mario Paint Composer PC folder, and replace "soundset.sf2" with the one you want to use (make sure you backup the old one first)
SatoshiLyish 3 years ago
what means backup?

..*sigh* To make an additional copy of.

Can the flower hold it's note without fading?
lob31 3 years ago
if you place several notes in a row it can hold the note, but I integrated the fade effect with the flower..you would have to cut the note short using low A glitch to prevent the fade effect.

Hey, you know what would also be nice? If you could get rid of that clicking sound when pressing play. I'm sure I'm not the only MPC user who would appreciate that.
EcLipsE1982Fat 3 years ago
That's part of the MPC program itself and not the soundfont. I didn't find that sound when I was editing, unfortunately. :(
I can simply edit it out though. As you can see none of my MP videos have it.

Whoa! Downloading now...
This is handy because I forgot my VGA to HDMI converter for my computer, so I got absolutely no composing done over the weekend, so I can test this pack out on a new composition.
*Excited for the new swans, hoping the boats are MUCH more prominent mid-range*
I'll let you know what I think!
theEvilGrimace 3 years ago
To be honest, the swans are going to take some getting used to (It seems their volume was increased or something, making it overpower other instruments even more than before), and low mario heads sometimes sound sour.
But of course, there's a lot of good along with the bad. This makes lengthy gameboys and flowers so easy; no volume control or high speeds needed. I'm going to probably miss planes being softer than other instruments, giving that much-needed soft harmony sound.
LoloGuru 3 years ago
I realize the swans needed some tweaking when I was listening to ihasmario's Rickroll..the swans ended up being way too loud in the Extended version. Or, are you saying they're loud in the regular version also? I can always put out new versions with suggestions people have.
Regarding the Mario heads, are you saying they're out of tune?
SatoshiLyish 3 years ago
I was testing the extended version above. The basic without extended notes... I'm enjoying and have no complaints.
As for the Mario heads in the extended version, there's something about them that seems off for notes... say, G and below? I don't know if it's a tonal discrepancy, I never was that great at picking out pitch.
The mario head is still the same sound as in the original, just extended?
LoloGuru 3 years ago
I think I found the problem. I was looking at the looping points and for some reason when I save the file it gets slightly broken up...so it isn't a seamless loop. That's what's causing the dissonance to occur. I commend your good ears for picking that up ^^
*sigh* only thing is..if its happened to the Mario heads, then EVERYTHING ELSE is out of sync too. Stupid program..my work will never get finished at this rate..

Hey, this is nice, to have a link for people to download it, I like to modify the soundfont with real orchestra sounds, Guess I´ll have a look at your 1.0e
adolfobaez 3 years ago
well, its not really Mario Paint unless you use its sounds. I know I'm starting to stretch it with modifying it with effects and such, but..this certainly will make compositions easier.
