Soundfont changes instrument when I load it up

Having trouble with LMMS? Ask about it here.
Hi, I’m new to lmms and producing in general. I recently downloaded a legend of Zelda sound fount and when I load it up in lmms it changes the ocarina to a piano. It keeps the notes, but they’re not what I’m looking for I just want to make an ocarina melody. Any help would be much appreciated.

That is a soundfont issue, but you can fix it by making a lmms-preset from the soundfont.
In the soundfont UI click the disk-icon, and save the soundfont with all the settings you like, including inserts on the FX-tab.
Name it suitable -Like Ocarina, and save it.
Then you should be able to drag that preset into your project, unless the soundfont is badly build.
