These are two different problems. The SI soundfont issue is something I've
run into myself, with regard to the orchestral brass. I had to go into the
EXS instrument and retune every note. Unfortunately, there is pitch
correction information in the soundfonts that is not converted properly by
EXS24. The samples themselves are way out of tune, and all to different
degrees. This is especially bad because in some of the instruments, more
than one sample is played for each key.

The release sample problem is something else entirely.
