FM tone nº 101 from EFFEC.FF

Another experimental mini-project. It just is a very small SoundFont that tries to recreate a 4-op FM tone data, which uses the detune parameter (DT). Found in the "EFFEC.FF" FM tone data bank from KAJA's PMD sound driver.

I know there's already various SoundFonts with this sound but I tried to recreate it my way. It doesn't sound 100% perfect, but doesn't sound bad either. I think it sounds very decent. It includes two variants, a monophonic and a polyphonic preset.

The only thing I couldn't remove from the samples was some "ladder noise" from FMPMD2000's WAV output; that's the reason why the samples have a slightly noise that sounds looped.

A lot of people in the Touhou community will recognize this sound as the typical PC-98 piano that ZUN used in his Touhou games 2-5. (Not the vibraphone one, though --I might try to do it later--).

I didn't added velocity layers to this SoundFont but you could do it by yourself. If you can't do it, post a comment. (Right now the "Show Comments" link isn't used very much, and people just don't press it anyway, that's the reason why comments aren't replied in months and/or years).

Enjoy~
