Compiled from "The Mix" magazine cover cd, Oct 1998. 19 Sythesisers from the awesome new EMU SuperNova. Synths have been tuned as much as possible. 3.3 MB, Zip file 2.6MB.
This file is a replacement for the SYNTHGM.SBK file supplied with the AWE32/64. Besides revising and improving many of the original ROM instrumets, the bank includes most of the presets found in the SYNTHGS.SBK SoundFont, and some new ones as well. Altogether there are 211 instrument patches and 10 drumsets. This bank requires NO RAM.
This contains 6 of Gort's Soundfonts for the SB:Live. There's a huge selection of synth / retro / experimental sounds, very small size, mostly original musical voices and just a few fun sounds. They're primarily for people who 1) want something different from the GM set, or 2) come from another planet. It contains the latest versions of: Gort's-Synth; Gort's-Extras; Gort's-MiniPiano; Gort's-Filters; Gort's-Midget-Soundfont; Gort's-Double-Decker.
<> has 128 new instrumental voices, many with Moving Filters or other non-standard timbres. Some are better as chords, others as single notes. It's mostly for musicians who want something a bit out of the ordinary or who are fed up of GM presets. I don't know for what bizarre or perhaps perverted uses you may need certain sounds, but this Soundfont will be ideal.
I thought the world needed a 2Kb Soundfont, so I did a small collection with 12 varied sounds. I made it as a bit of fun to see if it was possible, and it was better than I expected. It might seem ridiculous but it's OK, and for Captain Retro - these sounds might be just what you want.
Gort's Extras is a companion Soundfont to Gort's Synth, offering an interesting mixture of voices which are varied in terms of tonal quality and type. It is very small for rapid download (only 58Kb) with a huge number of powerful voices (over 150). Again it is not intended to be a GM set - it's intended to be the ANTIDOTE to the GM set, with a new selection of assorted sounds to extend the range of the musician who is looking for something different.
Synthetic electronic sounds. Pads, basses, arpeggiator-friendly stuff, blips and more. All sounds are based on synthetic samples from the Korg M1. There are plenty (58) of samples to play around with here if anyone feels like recreating some M1 sounds. Last updated August 9th 1998, expect new updates in the near future.
