This soundfont is a 15MB soundfont with around 800 samples and a 128 General MIDI sound bank with 9 drum kits to sound somewhat like a modern soundfont and like the SC-55. Although some sounds may not seem to be 100% like the SC-55, it can share some similarities with it.
Compact GM / GMGS (smaller version of Apollo GMGS)
by CaedUploaded on Sep 05, 2023 (and last updated on Sep 11, 2023)
Compact GMGS is a smaller version of my 4 GB soundfont, Apollo GMGS (which can be found here: https://musical-artifacts.com/artifacts/3181). I managed to reduce the file size by reducing amount of samples per key, reducing velocity layers, reducing the length of loops, etc. The GM/GS version of this soundfont is 1.62 GB, and the general MIDI-only version of this soundfont is 1.36 GB. The same policies from Apollo GMGS apply to this version of this soundfont.

Apollo GMGS v1.104.5 (GM+GS soundfont)
by CaedUploaded on Aug 22, 2023 (and last updated on Dec 31, 2023)
This soundfont, which is 3.97 GB, is meant to be a high quality, high-end, and a decently balanced soundfont with decent sounds and a decent MIDI-listening experience.
I took many feedback and such into consideration for this version of this soundfont, and make adjustments based on that to make this soundfont better than the previous versions.
NOTE: I renamed this soundfont from "Caed's Ultimate Adequate GM" to "Apollo GMGS" as I thought the previous name was vague. It ...

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...

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 Apr 04, 2024)
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...
