Introducing Version 2.0!!
SFZ Format

Simple keyboard layout
"Legato" effect
Vibrato, tremolo, slide (portamento), attack, and release controls
The goal, when designing "8-Bit Chip", was to create something that was friendly to a musician, rather than a programer.
Traditionally, 8-Bit music is created in what can be described as a spreadsheet-like environment, where pitches and effects are coded one at a time. My idea was ...

A tiny ~128ish sample 11khz Mobile Ice Cream Truck TI SN7 filtered PSG Soundfont in 6868 bytes.
by stgiga, [nowanonymous], Zmey Kolbasnik, and Yingchun Soul, and also formerly Zandro Reville and GashisoftUploaded on Jul 11, 2019 (and last updated on Apr 17, 2024)
This sub-7KiB GM soundfont works on all midi players. It uses a 9 sample filtered square wave for melody and a 118 sample filtered periodic Noise wave for drums and sfx. Also note that the square is 11025hz sample rate and the noise is 11025hz sample rate, meaning that one can use it in scenarios of the worst quality possible with no trouble whatsoever. The entire 127 samples of audio data could fit in the wave memory of the Namco 163 Famicom expansion sound chip when ALL ...

CalculatorSF GM

Ask and you shall receive: A GM SoundFont by me, stgiga, of those musical calculators that was turned into an incomplete and non-GM SoundFont by evnchn on Github, but now including a drumkit (the Controller Click from Marcel J. Therrien's Gamer's Orchestra to represent calculator keypresses), and SFX (Pencil from JS121's SFX, to fit the math theme.)
sleaf (maker of the old DSoundFont Ultimate and its much better successors Enchant! and ETERNAL!) helped fix the balance, whi...
CT-7000 (Retro Synth) [Free Version]
by Michael PicherUploaded on Mar 20, 2017 (and last updated on Apr 04, 2024)
If you need that musical sound from an 80s rock band or a Homestar Runner cartoon, this sample library could fit the bill! I built this virtual synth from samples, recorded using a vintage keyboard, that just appeared one day. When we were kids, my brother and I spent countless hours playing around with it. I even composed some of my very first melodies of music using this keyboard.
>> IMPORTANT: If you want to be notified when a new version of this sample library...

UPDATED! (May 5, 2017) I fixed some tuning issues and removed a few bad notes. Fixed volume value in Bass.
Embrace the fun sound of this virtual electronic organ, sampled from a spinet organ that was likely built in the late 70s!

Hedsound's MT32 Soundfont (CM64-L / LAPC-1) [GM remap fix with MSB127 MT-32 map compatibility mode with other spiff yet again, plus GS and more compatible drums, plus 8850 and better sound]
by stgiga, hakerg, Ziya Mete DemircanUploaded on Jan 13, 2021 (and last updated on Oct 28, 2022)
This my merger and fix of the Hedsound MT32 soundfont and Hakerg's GM version. Hakerg had forgotten the fret noise which broke certain songs, so what I did to fix that involved me putting the Guitar Harmonics thing there. Also I did some link-related stereo fixes without affecting the MT32's special stereo. I also painstakingly made the SFX kit into individual GS SFX items, while also making Bird Tweet better. I mapped the SFX also into the MSB Bank 64 XG SFX bank so that ...
