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...

Overdriven Guitar
by CaedUploaded on Jul 06, 2023 (and last updated on Jul 06, 2023)
This is an overdriven guitar soundfont which I spent 3 hours of messing around to figure out which settings sounded the best. This covers the GM preset 000:029. This overdriven guitar has each white note sampled at an actual range of F1-E6. The Unreal Instruments' METAL-GTX (https://unreal-instruments.wixsite.com/unreal-instruments/metal-gtx) and the Amped Roots plugin (https://ml-sound-lab.com/products/amped-roots) was used for this. In addition, this contains some modula...

Caed's Ultimate Adequate GM version 1.04 (3.96GiB/4.26GB)
by Caed, with some material by other soundfont authors.Uploaded on May 15, 2023 (and last updated on Jul 10, 2023)
Over the past few months, I've been working on this GM soundfont that has 147 presets that is 3.96 GiB/4.27 GB. I will add more presets soon thoughout the development process, with are things like GS, XG, MT, and other presets soon, but they in separate soundfonts since Polyphone will corrupt the soundfont after it reaches 4.3 GB. This could be one of the top 10 largest soundfont in MIDI history, as the creator of the Dsoundfont series has created a successor to Dsoundfont...

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.)

Waves of Nostalgia v2
by CharlieUploaded on Mar 04, 2023 (and last updated on Nov 14, 2023)
Compact redesign of Waves of Nostalgia.
v2 change log:
Much smaller file size (less than 900kb); accomplished by using tiny loops, shortening long samples and dropping 24C note samples
Sample amplitudes target -9dB now; no attenuation values are used
Changed volume envelopes to be close to what GXSCCGM033.sf2 uses
Back to only one version again to keep size small and ease development
Maybe some other stuff I forgot to mention
The (Fixed) JummBox SoundFont Fork (V11)

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 ran...

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.
HiDef (my 4GiB Roland SC-88Pro SoundFont)
by stgiga, et. al. (check my Weebly)Uploaded on Dec 05, 2022 (and last updated on Oct 20, 2023)
I'm stgiga, and here's my 4GiB Roland SC-88Pro soundfont from my Weebly but in a better place. This SF2 was made when I was, in essence, a 15-16yo trans girl (I'm now nonbinary, 21yo, and use they/them). It even supports the XG mode. It was designed to be compatible with the vast majority of MIDI files, including exotic ones that used the 88Pro, especially Japanese MIDIs. I made it in 2018 when I was fed up with broken MIDIs. It was a pain to make and often involved using ...
