Id depends: the classic approach is to throw hundreds of megabytes of (possibly expensive) samples into a sample-device. This isn't a reasonable option in a browser.
It's possible however to develop new devices that focus on physically simulating a certain class of instruments. This is hard work if you want to deliver quality that is almost as good as the sample-based machines. Performance is another challenge.

Hmm. I see, thanks for clarifying.

There was a discussion about Soundfonts for AT months ago, I'll link it here if I can find it again.

I brought the idea from there :) (sorry for not mentioning the source in the first place)

Did you see this one? https://www.audiotool.com/board/feature_requests/soundfont_players

No, thanks. I redirected it here to reduce duplicates. 11 entries so far :)

I'm currently trying to synthesize instruments, and synthesizing instruments from scratch is indeed very complicated with lots of factors that go into the sound. https://www.soundonsound.com/techniques/synthesizing-brass-instruments

What about starting a contest in https://www.audiotool.com/board/sound_design ? Like pointing to a sample or sound and ask the community to mimic that as good as possible? Could be fun and informative.

wait so my older post is a duplicate of a newer post? shouldn't it be the other way around? i'm not upset or anything im just confused a lil

@jetdarc Valid objection. I tagged/closed so many entries that I didn't bother to explain my decising on each of them.
Closing an entry as a duplicate doesn't imply it was undesired in the first place. I tried to chose the entry which seemed to have the best chance to push this forward:

• Newer is better (which seems unintuitive at first)

• More content/description is better

• More subscribers are better
  Sometimes my choice might not be optimal, especially when there are lots of them. This will get better and more comprehensible in the future where I try to close those duplicates before they get more attention than the existing one.
  In your case I arbitrarily had chosen to reply on this one which in turn dragged some attention to it. We're keeping a list of related topics, though - your content will be considered. The list currently contains:

  Does this answer your question?

ah i see, its all good :D

yeah no

besides some instruments you can't recreate with the tools we have here

So... what I'm hearing is that it's very unlikely, and there's no plans to have the ability to import sound fonts into Audiotool? And this is why, say, FL Studio is an app, since it can manage sound fonts in a way that a browser can't?
