Musescore General HQ Soundfont (.sf2 Converted)

The reason I published this here on Musical Artifacts is because it was originally an .sf3 file and .sf3's are compatible with such a small amount of things. The way I converted the thing was using Polyphone. I just loaded it, hit 'Save As...' and chose .sf2. It sounds just like the original with not much loss and I'm pretty happy with it. If you like the sound of the Musescore soundfont and want to use it with some other software (e.g. VLC Media Player). To summarize, I p...

this is the most unfamous and used sax section in almost every soundfont, however if you dont have much space for a lot of sampling, maybe this can be a cool option for you, the sound is squeeshing and quacky and ducky but beliveme its very expresive

Extra considerations:
The license for this SoundFont is various and valid as for any individual source (see "MatrixSF - instruments, licenses.txt").
You can use this sounds/instruments respecting the licenses or even create your own SoundFont from this with some modifications (fork) and publish it, but you must also indicate this in the SoundFont name (e.g. "MatrixSF (edited by Mark)", "MatrixSF Mark version"...), put the license/attribution file for the original creators and give the SoundFont for free.
The list of sources of all instruments and the corresponding licenses are ca. 99% correct, because I probably missed a few sounds due to testing from many sources. If any sound/instrument should not be in this SoundFont, please send mail at matrix36963@gmail.com, it will be removed/replaced.

General Game Boy Advance Soundfont 2.0
by BuskinCothurnUploaded on Aug 20, 2022 (and last updated on May 19, 2024)
After about 4 months of no updates to this soundfont I went back to highly improve it, as I wasn't too happy with it. Many samples were replaced with much more MIDI friendly and overall better ones and instruments were tweaked to reduce the release and make them more in line with other GM soundfonts.
