The 'pro' version can hold 16 different soundfonts (or 16 instances of the same one.) It's a VST and there are 100s of hosts. If you load sfz into multiple tracks you'll have n*16 instruments where n is the number of tracks. Good luck finding the soundfont, though.

I am a church musician, violin, piano, voice, and pertaining to this inquiry, a bell tower keeper. I write my own songs to play on the bell tower, or synthesize others from MIDI sources, recording them eventually to an audio file that will play on a computer sound card. Once in the sound card, the carillon amplifier takes it from there and plays the music on the bell tower speakers. The problem is, that apparently, when the masterminds made the 128 MIDI instruments, they saw no need to make a pretty sounding set of church bells (all the way from deep boomers, to tinkle bells in the carillon songs.) I came here looking for a live human being, and hopefully, one or more download programs, that will simply let me compose a song in Noteworthy composer, and use some sort of a sound font player, to serve as a MIDI instrument (in place of the GS wavetables, etc.) If I can get it playing in bell voices, I am able to do the recording, audio file synthesis, editing, CD burning, etc. Been there, done that. Any help? bobvandev@juno.com (plays "first chair steeple" in this town.) I make no claim to being a music engineer.
