FluidR3 GM+GS merged soundfont
by Frank WenUploaded on Jun 22, 2020 (and last updated on Apr 04, 2024)
FluidR3 is the third release of Frank Wen's pro-quality GM/GS soundfont.
The soundfont has lots of excellent samples, including all the GM instruments along side with the GS instruments that are recycled and reprogrammed versions of the GM presets.
This is a merged version of both FluidR3_GM and FluidR3_GS, useful for applications where you need a GM+GS soundfont, but can only specify one (no stacking or chaining support needed). For instance with DOSBox ECE, DOSBox-X or ...

This libre SoundFont is a new fixed version of Micasddsa4000's Jummbox Soundfont,
I, stgiga, fixed the pitch, OPL2 samples, modulators, and mappings, and also added Zandro Reveille's OPL3 drums (TheFatMan is part of the equation, including OPL2 booster drums too) (also William B. Santos's YM2612 and Piconica (free basic waveform synth tool of sorts) drums were used to boost the range again, followed by little-scale's and drunkenjesus's OPLL drums, resulting in a drum rang...

Extra considerations:
BeepBox and JummBox are under The MIT License, and Zandro's OPL3 and OPL2 are under CC-BY-SA4, which is compatible with The MIT License (and GPLv3 as well, so you can use this SoundFont in anything GPL3-licensed. So yes, this bank is certifiably able to be a Linux package, even on distros like Trisquel that ONLY allow libre packages. Also, I have the bank on OpenGameArt for use in any games of the Liberated Pixel Cup variety, a game jam dedicated towards making FOSS games. This bank is also on other places besides this site, such as itch.io, OpenGameArt, IndieGameMusic, Archive.org, SourceForge, and others. And no, I didn't paywall the bank on ANY of the other sites it is on. I even point people to this site in the description to fulfill my CC-BY-SA4 obligations to attribute. I consider this SoundFont to be one of the best FOSS things I have done.) The William B. Santos stuff is Public Domain. OPLL stuff is libre. The Retro Player bank is under CC-BY 3.0.

by CaedUploaded on Jul 10, 2023 (and last updated on Apr 04, 2024)
It is recommended that you upgrade to v1.10, that features a bunch of fixes such as balancing. https://musical-artifacts.com/artifacts/3181
This soundfont has been renamed from "Caed's Ultimate Adequate GM" to "Apollo GMGS". I've spent almost 2 months making this version and making a bunch of well changes to this soundfont to achieve a better MIDI listening experience. I've removed many sounds from CrisisGeneralMidi3.01 and other bland samples and such and made this sound...

The (Fixed) Jummbox Soundfont Fork
by Micasddsa4000, NPC, Zandro Reveille, TheFatMan, stgigaUploaded on Jan 13, 2021 (and last updated on Apr 04, 2024)
This Soundfont is a fixed version of Micasddsa4000's Jummbox Soundfont. I, stgiga, fixed the pitch and mappings, and also added Zandro Reveille's OPL3 drums (TheFatMan is part of the equation) because Micas didn't use drums. It's really neat and retro!
Enjoy!
Stay safe, stay at home, and wash ur hands!
Sincerely, stgiga
