musescore-general-soundfont 0.1.4-1 (amd64 binary) in ubuntu eoan
This is the new standard hard disc space-saving SF3 format
soundfont as shipped with MuseScore 2.2 and newer.
.
MuseScore_General attempts to keep the installed-size footprint
low while providing the complete GM (General MIDI) sound set
and some extras, although its full version is larger than its
antecessor fluidr3mono-
on improving quality. (The small version is, despite restoring
stereo samples for some instruments, actually smaller, thanks
to numerous optimisations and bugfixes.)
.
The musescore-
best quality; musescore-
the size (about the same as fluidr3mono-
a drop-in replacement (identical bank configuration) at comparable
quality to the full soundfont, missing only the separate ensembles
(using identical samples for e.g. first/second violin) and some of
the new larger instrument samples. An SF2 (uncompressed) version
ships in the musescore-
by audiophiles, with synthesisers lacking SF3 support, or to avoid
the long startup times of MuseScore.
.
It can be used with most modern MIDI synthesisers which support
the SF3 format, although early implementations (such as the one
from MuseScore before release 2.2) had bugs making the resulting
sound bad; instead use fluidr3mono-
.
As it comes under the MIT licence, it can be used in most settings,
but do remember that waveforms generated using this soundfont are
“copies or substantial portions of the” soundfont.
.
This package will be installed into /usr/share/
is the standard Debian location for system-wide SF3 soundfonts.
