I'm not very knowledgeable in Soundfonts either, but this helps a little.

mygood all the txt. i think i understand it tho, it seems i can save them as single presets from the nn-xt sampler, but they where very small, i dont get that, the space synt become 13kB so it seems to not include the wavs into its preset. i dont know if NN-XT normaly do that anyway i think maybe the wavs must be included in the song.

You can't be saving the preset as anything but the settings, which is what that 13kb has to be.

For instance, if you open a SF2, and make changes on NN-XT, than save the preset, you're actually saving any setting changes you made on NN-XT + a call out to open that specific sample.

If you open that preset, it will first open the sample, than will configure the settings on NN-XT to how you had them when you saved the preset.
I haven't used Reason in a while but I think this is how NN-XT works.

Actually I think I know what you guys are looking for, you want those thick nasty hardware synths.

I'm really loving this so much I'm gonna submit another 20-25 lead synths and finish the bass tommorow.
I'm using hardware as the foundation, layering it with some nasty z3ta and sylenth saw lfo's, noise, flanger on some, and getting some REALLY thick track piercing sounds.

The softsynths actually add a beautiful tonal character over the hardsynths. I'll try to get them up soon.

thanks for the soundfont info, i googled it before i posted but couldn't find anything, but i get it now, it's like a sample pack run through an actual sampler r/t just a bunch of sounds...

and yeah i'm on logic, has esx24 as a sampler thingy i'll run it through that, cheers again robby for the packs
can't wait for the bass pack!!

Just encase anyone missed the packs, bump!

Downloading these now.

These are amazing!

I'm limited to software synths for my own creation, so having some good hardware samples is great, much better for trance music especially since you just can't get the same quality of rich, deep, full sound with software. I definitely see myself using a lot of these!
Thanks!

I usually don't like chord synths, but I'm having a lot of fun with "Saw Major" right now.

A lot of these sound really good with the right sidechain.
