Introducing Version 2.0!!
SFZ Format
Pulse (3 variants), Triangle, and Noise waves

The (Fixed) Jummbox Soundfont Fork (OPL4-containing Drum Boost)
by Micasddsa4000, NPC, Zandro Reveille, TheFatMan, stgigaUploaded on Apr 14, 2021
This Soundfont is a fixed version of Micasddsa4000's Jummbox Soundfont. I, stgiga, fixed the pitch and mappings, and also added OPL4 drum parts to Zandro Reveille's OPL3 drums (TheFatMan is part of the equation, including OPL2 booster drums too) because Micas didn't use drums. It's really neat and retro!
Enjoy!
Stay safe, stay at home, and wash ur hands!
Sincerely, stgiga

BeepComp Chiptune SoundFont
by sillsUploaded on Aug 02, 2021 (and last updated on Aug 03, 2021)
I took some samples from the software BeepComp and turned it into a little soundfont that can be used with any software that uses .sf2 files.
Good samples for making old-school chiptune, 8-bit, or retro arcade style songs.
