Anyone kinow of relaible sites for free *.sfz files? Pity I didn't get to http://www.hammersound.net/ a few years ago. There's still some good stuff (e.g. Roland Supersax, strings etc.) But it's a long way from it's glory days (e.g it still advertises 210 piano fonts, but in reality there's only about 20). -- http://www.gillsmith999.plus.com/

You can also try http://www.sf2midi.com/soundfonts/ but i think you'll have to signup first. Very few sites have them these days.. The thing is, soundfonts are practically extinct these days. They used to be popular, but were replaced with today's software samplers/romplers wich usually offer higher quality sounds.

Are you familiar with handling torrents? Jos. -- www.ardispark.nl

Soundfont has gone the way of Usenet i.e. everybody has migrated to proprietary forums/music. I like Usenet/MIDI/Soundfont because it's portable Once you get hooked into *ONE* proprietary music system (like Korg/whatever) you have to keep 'upping the dose' because they're your "ONLY" supplier Anyway, thanks for http://www.sf2midi.com/soundfonts/. Already signed-up and made my first download So if it's a bit tinny. Tamla Motown was MIGHTY tinny (they used *RE-USED* audio tapes!!!!!!!!) but it still sounds good. -- http://www.gillsmith999.plus.com/

You will need to install some client software (e.g. from here: http://www.bittorrent.com). Let's say you are looking for a soundfonts file. Google it and you will find several tiny files that end in ".torrent". These are merely descriptors of the actual soundfonts file. Download such a torrent file, have it opened by your torrent client, and it will begin to download the soundfonts (provided there are other users online that own the soundfonts file, of course). Use only for legal purposes, of course. Happy to further assist you, but this is drifting offtopic. Find my mail address at my website if you want to continue this by email.
