  Hi guys,
  
  I want to make different sound with my sample by changing sample start and end offset, but somehow the number become something else or zero after I press enter, eg. I type 2000, the number become 1422 or somthing, really frustrated
  
  And another question, can I set "keyswitch" in polyphone?
  I have sampled a Chinese plucked string instrument, and I also record a lot of skills of the instrument, I want to set some low notes as trigger keys like those VST plug-ins, is it possible? If not, please let me know how I can trigger different skill when I use a sf2 in my DAW.

  Additional question: I export a soundfont with one preset and a few instruments in it, and I install the sf2 in musescore. All instruments play at the same time when I write a note, why would it happen？ what can I do for it?
  
  Thanks for helping

  I think I figured this out, I linked each instrument to different presets. Now still need help with skill triggering one

  triggering different articulations in a sf2 you do with Velocity settings, but not for use in Musescore, since Musescore uses Velocity to set the Volume (seems they never heard of Control 7).

  Thanks for answering!
  
  I thought of Velocity setting before, but those articulations themselve also have different layers of velocity, I will have to place them in very unreasonable velocity level if I do with velocity.
  
  Is there anyway to link SF2 with cc 0, so we can switch different between bank in a preset?
  
  I teied imported sf2 with sforzando and use it in my daw (reaper), but I think the cc0 doesn't effect on it

  i have heard of people linking samples to all kinds of control, but i never studied it because i want my soundfonts as simple as posible, i use a few instruments of all kinds and mould the sound in my DAW by Volume. when mixing a piece of music you never can tell how virtual instruments work together or against each other, so better not to make too much work of a single instrument.

  Thanks for your advice,
  
  As a musician I think I like the way how Kontakt do, which is using key switch to trigger different articulation, Really wish we can set it in sf2. Actually I find that Sforzando is able to play key switch, which means SFZ does support that.
  
  Thank you anyway, I will try to find out a good way to deal with my samples.
