I need to apologize first. I have not used vArranger in almost 10 years.
I bought the Black TYROS GM SOUNDFONT and It is one sf file about 630MB.
I forgot how to load it to use as my GM bank.

Also, I have many stand alone sf2 files I can use but forgot how to select the file.
Many thanks ....

I found out to put the stand alone sf2 files in SAMPLES directory.
I still need to find out how to use an sf2 file for my GM BANK to load the style voices.

If you want vArranger to play your sf2 files, you must select vArranger Software Synthesizer.
(Option - MID PORTS - MIDI OUT - vArranger Software Synthesizer)
Previously vArranger did not have this synthesizer and it was necessary to use virtual midi (for example loopMIDI) and some external soundfont player.

Each voice is defined by a combination of three numerical values ��MSB LSB and PC.

vArranger cannot load multiple sf2 files into the same voice.
If you have multiple sf2 files in the directory, then vArranger
gives priority to the file that is later in the alphabet when loading sound files.
