Hello everyone! Ladies and Gentleman - I hereby present you the CompiFont, which basically is a compilation of many, MANY soundfonts into one - GM bank. LINKS FOR DEMOS: LINKS FOR SOUNDFONT: (can be downloaded as 2 divided parts: Orchestral and the rest or all in 1.SF2): Or on the website: Short history of the font. I have seen CoolSoft VirtualMIDISynth a while ago (I wonder if it was a year ago or more) and i felt kinda nostalgic about all the MIDI. But I also realised that all the GM soundfonts just doesn't seem to fit my ear. I decided to create my own GM.SF2. Something made out of precisely picked out samples out of every single SF2 file that I will stumble upon.
I've made some research on how to make one, found out a program to do it [Viena by Synthfont, many thanks for that]. And spent quite some time on it. Tributes What does it comprise? The list is really, really long. Out of the GM soundfonts used during creation were 'Merlin Gold' (Merlin Pixel Arts), 'Titanic 200 GM GS' (Congrats Luke Sena!), 'Personal Copy' (Jim Roe), but also many more for reference like 'Masterpiece' (found on ), DrummGS, Joe's Best GM, Hubbe64. Even good old Gravis Ultrasound was listened to!

Aiden Apr 7, 2016 at 12:42 am - Reply. Can't tell if these comments are fake or not >_>but i'll get it anyways C. Syntlead Soundfonts Part 2: 25.9 MiB: 1346: The Runners Sounds: 25.3 MiB: 1509: TS 250Kit: 8.4 MiB: 1056: Vinyl Piano 19Mb - Good Sound: 11.2 MiB: 2124: Violin And.
I am also very greatful for Keppy, creator of the best piano soundfont for the insight on how SF2 piano can sound. I should credit 'some' samples as well, which list is incomprehensibly long, and i don't remember all the ones used.
There are some certainly worth acknowledging. PIANO: Yamaha 9ft Grand, Grand Piano Y-LP1, Clavinova P6 and Yamaha C5 used alltogether and tuned for the best performance as well as some piano instruments of unidentified origin (sorry for all the people that worked hard on all those samples, i simply lost track. The misc piano instruments came out of E-MU Proteus 2000 samples package with minor/major tweaks. There is also Clavinova Grand from one of the famous soundfonts. GUITARS: Enormous FG460s II Live Guitar Pack (complete recommendation!), Kamac Distortion Guitar and 'Overdrive Guitar' the changes were major here and included samples swapping, Narubasso. Sf2?, LesPaul guitars pack, Jackson Distortion Guitar.
WINDS: UoI Trumpet NV4 + Roland trumpet, Trombone from Crisis, Custom(ly) made Trumpet Muted, French Horns from soundfont package that I happened to find on my HDD, Tweaked 'Flute (TB)', Ethan's Bassoon, CLARINET, Piccolo CK. STRINGS: Cadenza Double Bass, Solo Viola, Super PizzStr and for the 'All around strings': 'STRING ENSEMBLE11', Strings 2LL + Strings1RR; DRUMS: Walthius, Melotti Drums, JD_Drums and Drumkits made from Royalty free Wave samples Download and ENJOY! Thank you for the huge work! It's a pity that you can't credit all the samples because such a soundfont will never make it into MuseScore.
We need to make sure that all samples come from suitable licensed soundfont. It would have been pretty cool if we could see which one are ok and which other are definitely not and would make us (and you, since you distribute it) legally liable (even if it's unlikely anyone complain.) Also, sorry to go into legal again, it would be great if you could attach a license to the soundfont for the parts that you did yourself (the compilation, the instruments based on public domain samples etc.). It would ease the reuse and remix of the soundfont in the future. If you don't care about what people do with this soundfont, I would suggest putting somewhere that this soundfont (or at least the parts you own) is licensed under CC0. CC0 is not like the other CC license, it just helps the user to put his work in the public domain and it's definitely compatible with GNU GPLv2.
See Even if it wasn't, it wouldn't be a problem to distribute it with MuseScore if we had permission. The soundfont is used by MuseScore but not linked. If a soundfont is distributed with MuseScore, its license doesn't need to be compatible with GNU GPLv2. However to enable the distribution of the soundfont itself, for example in Debian, CC0 works. That being said, I'm not a lawyer, you can get help to choose a license on for example. You can load each sound font into MuseScore.
The sounds in the mixer appear in the order they appear in each sound font. The order of the sound fonts is same as in the synthesizer.
You can move the sound fonts up in the list with the arrows, so put the ones you want to use most at the top of the list. The first trombone in the mixer will then be the one from the first sound font in the mixer.
The first French horn in the mixer will be from the first sound font with a French horn and so forth. I hope the explanation makes sense and you English is very adequate.
Always used to think that MIDI music was ugly? Think again: The above file has been recorded with. Now, listen to the same file using the MIDI synthesizer currently setup on your computer: Liked the results? Now, either in (78,7 MB, if you can decompress files) or in (136 MB, if you can't use sfArk on recent versions of Mac OS X ou Linux) and listen to your MIDI files with a new ear!
The two versions (sfArk/SF2) are exactly the same, except from the compression format.
