Hi jofemodo !

This is the link to the file…another question…is possible to place sf2 file in subfolders to better ordinate categories of different fonts???

Thank you very much

Fabrizio

Hi @videobelu!

There is a problem with filenames with spaces and other “special” chars. I will solve ASAP, but until now, please, “normalize” the filenames .

Kind Regards!

Hi @videobelu!

I’ve fixed the problem and now (after updating ;-)) you can use filenames with spaces and other special chars.  
Currently there is no “subfolder” support in fluidsynth banks (SF2 ). Sorry. I will try to solve it in the future.

Regards!
