They are at:
http://clones.soonlabel.com/public/sfbank/
I will not provide any technical help at all - you are on your own.
Please enjoy and visit //www.soonlabel.com and see what we are up to.
forgive my ignorance, but what the *bleep* are soundfonts, and how can i make a gain from them in OMPT? :D
I did some research but things are not crystal clear just yet, altho' i'm really curious about them.
Are they something like .wav samples, that are pre-rendered from synths and live instruments?
perhaps:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SoundFont
looks like a vsti exists - look at the links at the bottom.
I did read the wiki carefully.
This sentence could plain and simple answer my question:
"A SoundFont bank contains .wav files that are mapped to sections on a keyboard for playback"
Clear. ^_^
I'm not an expert on soundfonts and as I said I'm not providing technical support.
Glad the wiki article answered your question.
You pointed me to an excellent technical support page, that was the best choice to do i can assure and also thank you. I just pointed out the sentence that gave me (and to other potentially interested people) the simple answer.
I wasn't expecting anything personally from you when i've asked, but from anyone that could/willing to help (it's a forum topic, not a private message =).
Also, i've noticed a bit hostility in your voice ::), no need to be naturally cold with people imo, but it's again your choice ;), take care, and thanks again.
I am sorry we seem to misunderstand each other.
I fail to see how hosting many megabytes of samples for public downloading and posting that fact in a public forum can be considered hostile or naturally cold.
Please just enjoy the resource I am providing and respect I do not want to provide support.
Oh, you are just being formal i can see. ^_^
Enjoying the resource, (i love to talk, also to tease =) and respecting your "not providing support" will, sir. Keep 'em comin'.
Just let's go on with the topic.
Afaik every system get a default soundfont bank. This contains the 128 instruments for MIDI performance.
Normally it's in the windows/system32/drivers/ subdir called '2gmgsmt.sf2'
Other additional banks in the *.sf2 format could be chosen.
As the term 'font' indicates (like bold, size or italian), a bank also can contain several versions of a single instrument (MIDI-number),
which can be mapped into kb-sections.
Technically these files indeed consist of a series of WAV files, of course with embedded code to jump to the start of the right one.
This is a screenshot of the app 'AWave' which is able to extract each one and save as a single sample.
(http://www.louigiverona.com/webarchive/samzen/samps/sf2_awave_list.png)
The former CEP was also able of opening .SF2 files. But only in a RAW form. So one had to guess about freq. rate etc.
This is also tricky because instruments within a SF2 file can have various resolutions, see screenshot.
In this case, the example 'bassmachine.sf2' requires 22K-16bits-mono for a rough acceptable freq. range.
Of course here one has to extract all the several samples manually.
http://www.samshuijzen.nl/sam/samples/sf2/bassmachine_raw.flac
The distorted piece at the end (from 0:23.577) obviously contains some code data.
There is also another way to use soundfonts in MPT. You can use a soundfont player plugin, load your .sf2 file in it and then use it like any other VSTi. I'm using sfz player (http://www.project5.com/products/instruments/sfz_player/default.asp) for this duty.
There are some fine soundfonts in here. I've been perusing the large ones.
Many thanks man!
lol - I see you got some of those from *cough* a post at TiS... :D

You are quite welcome - I didn't make any of them - these are just ones I've collected by various means over the years.
and fer fun and because I like you guys
my home made drum samples are going up into
http://clones.soonlabel.com/public/weikn
The cymbals are probably unusable - but the rest might be interesting.
The drums were run through guitar effect pedals.
if you don't like them don't complain - I am not a pro sampling type person and these are free.....
