I am nearing the end of entering loop information into the new clarinet I am working on for MuseScore 2 using samples from the University of Iowa. At this point I need the considered view of the community. Should the Clarinet only produce notes in the standard range for the instrument?

Or should the range be extended throughout the MIDI keyboard range? You need to bear in mind that notes outside the official range will have to be timestretched in the lower octaves of the MIDI keyboard, with consequent deterioration in speech and timbre. The other way forward would be to use Bass Clarinet samples to fill out the bottom of the MIDI range - some of the samples would still need to be timestretched to fill the lowest 3 octaves but sound quality would be better down to C2. Strength Of Material By Sadhu Singh Pdf. Let me know your thoughts. The tricky part is finding the right balance between an attack that is too slow (making short notes too quiet) and one that is too hard (making it impossible to create a legato effect). Unfortunately, MuseScore currently provides no way to differentiate the sample used for a slurred or tenuto passage versus one not specifically indicated as legato, nor does the underlying FluidSynth provide a way of making this happen via the legato controller as far as I know (it works only in monophonic mode?).
Serial Extraction Powerpoint Presentations. This is something I am hoping can perhaps be addressed in a future release. I'm a bit puzzled by your comment about trills.
Trills are not executed with tonguing on woodwind instruments, but by movement of the keys/finger holes on the same stream of air. So why should attack be relevant???? FWIW I have chosen the mf set of the University of Iowa because it represents a reasonable attack to the note which can be increased or lessened by the soundfont envelope parameters. The pp set was a) too lacking in attack, and b) not consistent enough in tone quality in some of the registers of the instrument, most notably the chalumeau and top end. If you'd like to check the samples out yourself, here's the link. Finally I have the loops all done, so I am proud to present the first beta version of the MuseScore Clarinet Soundfont. Currently it only works for the offical clarinet range so there are no sounds below D3(MIDI#50) and above C6(MIDI#96), and there are no velocity splits yet, and no vibrato You can get it from my Google Drive.
Overall volumes and timbre seem to be good on my sound system. The main questions I need answering by those of you testing this are. Tuning - are there any notes sounding out of tune? Looping - are any of the loops causing problems?
You will find some of them produce amplitude vibrato which is due to amplitude fluctuations within the two loop points. Please let me know of any of these that need tweaking. The loops deliberately don't start until well into the samples so only very long notes are affected, which would normally have vibrato applied to them anway. Please also make any other relevant comments. One note that the loops are definitely causing problems with is (in concert pitch) the second A above middle C (the Bb clarinet's B).
But I also found myself having the famous 'noise gate popping' issue, which I had hoped would not be present in the new clarinet (it isn't present in any other SoundFont I've tried). Unfortunately, whatever it is that causes this in the current FluidR3Mono is also a factor in MSClarinet. There's also the curious way that some of the notes in the low range seem to have some sort of noise, presumably from the original microphone, like a faint breathing or hissing, while others are perfectly clear. In general, though, the sound is beautifully clear and realistic, and the tone is a vast improvement. I think the hissing you are hearing is actually breath noise, the microphone may have been placed too near the instrument when recording these notes. It could also be a feature of the clarinet or the particular reed being used.
