I''m currently building up a soundfont from my favourite percussion samples, but I got a question. In professional soundfonts, when you hit a closed or pedal hi hat shortly after an open one, it will cut out the sound of the open hi hat instead of letting it ring on unrealistically. However, it does not cut out any other percussion notes, only the hi hat. How does one go about making a soundfont do this? (I''m using Vienna) Mark Hall Abstract Productions

Okay, in the instrument pool, open up the percussion sample group and right click on the hihat samples. On each one you need to set the Executive Class to any number above 0, but all the hihat samples need to be the same Class(IE, if one of them is 1, they all need to be 1). For other instruments, like a Cuica, you would use another Executive class(say if 1 is already used for hihats, you would use Exec Class 2).

0 by default doesn''t stop the sample from looping or just playing back it''s entire length(given you didn''t loop it and fade it out).

Peace,
Zack
