Here is way to get a bit more out of the soundfont generators using NRPN to address them. I've had this info for a very long time and can't seem to find where it came from.
You will need to change the path to your soundfont in [else/sfont~] and use the sf2-presets-reader.pd to create soundfont.txt if you want to use choose-sf2.pd.
Probably not that useful, just a bit of fun

Edit: I found the source of this info in the soundfont 2.04 spec

sf2-toy.zip

I've just updated choose-sf2-example.pd in the zip in the original post because it was incorrectly wired and triggered, causing the previous index and current bank to be sent immediately before the current index and current bank often causing an error. I noticed it when I connected a print object to else/sfont~ right outlet
choose-sf2-example.pd

@porres I removed else from my startup preferences, declared -lib else in a patch and else/sfont~ now loads successfully

@porres I've just reinstalled Plug Data and sfont~ works fine there

@oid
I really should have explained about the $0 for those who may be following:

The abstraction choose-sf2.pd is a dynamic patching patch that generates a bang connected to a message containing an index number of the lines of soundfont,txt and then connected to a send $0-result, this is the line number to read in soundfont.txt when the item bang is clicked, this is passed to $0-chosen

The format of the items in soundfont.txt was for simplicity in sorting the preset index and bank together with the name following. (the presets in a soundfont2 file are often very unsorted)
choose-sf2-example.pd shows how to retrieve the index, bank & name

The abstraction choose-sf2.pd is instantiated on the choose-sf2-example.pd with one argument $0, this offers a link back from choose-sf2 to choose-sf2-example. The send $0-chosen in choose-sf2 can then be received by the $0-chosen in choose-sf2-example.

This already seems too wordy and now I'm confused

@oid
It could easily be made into an abstraction.
comprising the reader and the chooser, just need to decide the neatest approach, but yes it was just an exercise to see if it was possible

@porres actually I am having a problem getting sfont~ to work on my computer
win 10
pd 0.55
brand new else deken installed
library loaded at pd statrt
other parts of else work fine
the same is true in plug data

15 or so years ago I came across a vb script to extract a presets list from a soundfont2 file, which I adapted to use in various VB.net Fluidsynth projects.
Now that Pure Data has the file handle object to read binary files I decided to give it a go in Pd on Windows 10.
I have also tried it using linux and it seems to work with the latest portable version.
Edit: Thursday 22nd August 2024, I've just updated choose-sf2-example.pd in the zip because it was incorrectly wired an triggered
sf2-presets-reader.zip
contains:
sf2-presets-reader.pd to create soundfont.txt
choose-sf2-example.pd to launch choose-sf2.pd and show index, bank and name extraction from [r $0-chosen]
choose-sf2.pd
soundfont,txt contains the presets from a soundfont I use SGM-V2.01.sf2 (236MB), this will be overwritten with your choice.

My preferred soundfont player to use with Pure Data is RGC-Audio SFZ.dll or SFZ+.dll loaded in @spacechild1 very excellent vstplugin~

Other options are Qsynth via midiout
Fluidsynth,exe via midiout launched with motex/system

Warning Purr-Data will not open sf2-presets-reader.pd because it does not have the file object.

Method;
open the soundfont2 file;
then look for phdr by searching backwards;
one byte at a time from the end of the file and look for p;
then see if the remainder from route is hdr;
then forwards 38 bytes for each instrument preset;
to retrieve bank, index and name until EOP tag;
send to text: (bank as integer, index / 1000 added to bank) and name as symbol;
;
then sort in order:- text define [sort(;
;
next write the text to soundfont, txt;

Here is the way I did it using key and keyup
However filtering key numbers may vary with different keyboard layouts
computer-keys-to-notes.zip

@weuoimi apparently the [adsr] has been altered for the tutorial, there are direct connections instead of send and receives
see below
I recreated pm-osc from the tutorial and used this adsr and your dx7 works

seb-harmonik.ar oops, yes your right of course

you need to have the note-off value 0 to turn off the note, >0 is filtering it out
I do it this way.

and rather than -1 the poly index, set the clone index to start at 1 with the -s flag

By changing the 1 to 100 the jpeg looks as good as the tiff if not better and is much smaller in size

The preset file is in C:\Program Files\Purr Data\bin\css folder (on windows 10)

I was able to drag solarized_inverted.css onto the desktop and edit ,box_text to #ff6600 save and drag back to the css folder for the following result.

I personally wouldn't recommend this approach as I would imagine when updating Purr Data the .css file will be overwritten and possibly updated with new fields

I tried to make the purrdata folder read/writeable but it just kept reverting back to read-only

I think you may need to use a message box to this, I dont believe you can put a comma in a list box
use messages with add2 and addcomma commands

Hi
I thought I would have a go
maybe this might help
Cheers

random-read.zip

To change the contents of a message box, use the 'set' message

You could write the values via a sinesum message to an array

Another way when patches disappear off screen on windows 10, is to hover over the Pd icon on the task bar and right click on the missing patch's large icon title bar then click maximize, then drag down the maximized title bar to restore its size.
The missing patch appears as a blank patch on the task bar icon.
