General playback bug
Bug description
It seems that .sf3 files being played in MuseScore 4 are not utilizing the filter cutoffs that are specified in the .sf3 file. There's only a handful of sounds in Muse Sounds.sf3 that have particularly noticeable filters (most instruments' filters are in the 5,000 Hz+ range) so there's only a few where this is particularly obvious, most of which are synth pads. This is very noticeable with the star/sci-fi synth preset, though I'm sure there are others that are affected by this as well.
Steps to reproduce
- Use one of the sounds in MS Basic with a cutoff filter. There are many of these but this will only be particularly noticeable with some of the synth sounds (sci-fi synth is very noticeable)
- Use playback with this sound

Polyphone playback with the same soundfont with and without a filter on the saw stack instrument. Compare the test without the filter on the saw stack instrument to MuseScore 4's playback:
