Translate Type
When you translate a SoundFont file, this determines whether you translate all the Instruments or all the Presets (which are collections of Instruments)
.
Default: Presets
Naming
SoundFonts have an internal Bank name. Some programs ignore this and make it irrelevant; some pay attention to it. As a result, the "name" of the SoundFont could be considered the internal name, or the file name, depending on which program made the SoundFont. This option gives you control of how the destination files or folder are named.
Default: Based on File Name
Include non-reference source samples when -> SoundFont
After it is finished composing a SoundFont, Translator looks through the new file and deletes all unreferenced samples within the file. This option prevents this from happening, in the case that you want your new SoundFont to include non-referenced samples that you might like to use later on.
Default: Unchecked
Show Instruments on Interface
Although Presets are the primary Instrument unit in a SoundFont (history trumps idealism), sometimes you may like to see the Instruments in a SoundFont. Checking this option enables this.
Default: Unchecked
Write 24-bit SoundFonts
Checking this option will write a 24-bit SoundFont if the incoming format requires it.
Default: Unchecked
Split ->sample copies with different SS/SE
Checking this option will write a 24-bit SoundFont if the incoming format requires it.
Default: Unchecked
Export 24-bit SoundFonts as 16-bit unconditionally
When translating a 24-bit SoundFont, even though the destination format may handle 24-bit or higher bitrates, Translator will not write it as 24-bit but as 16-bit if this option is checked.
Default: Unchecked
Write exported filenames with Bank and Program Numbers
Every SoundFont Preset has a MIDI Bank number and Program Number on it. This option makes Translator, when able to, to write those numbers into the filename; e.g. "002_024 Brass" means the 3rd Bank and Program Number 24 for a Preset called Brass.
Default: Unchecked
DLS: Write Stereo Samples as Dual Mono
DLS allows for stereo interleaved sample objects, but some DLS players only respect stereo samples as two separate mono sample objects panned hard-left and hard-right. Checking this option forces Translator to make two Dual Mono samples.
Default: Unchecked
