Briefly, yes.

I noticed that on quite some converted SF2, but as it doesn't happen on all
conversions I'm not sure about whom to blame.
Maybe I should reinstall that BS-1 soundfont player (VSTi) demo to have a
better chance of comparing. Btw, I can highly recommend getting that one to
save you from unnecessary conversions. Even if the demo is polyphony/beep
limitated it will usually give you an impression whether a soundfont is
worth it at all, without going through the tedious process of cleaning up
all the sample mess the EXS puts out on any sort of conversions...

(make sure to switch of its filter when testing, filter settings won't be
transferred to the EXS anyways)
