[SOLVED] soundfont(s) for fluidsynth

Hey guys, it's not something I've had occasion to play with in a long, long time but I've found myself toying with fluidsynth on slackware64-current. Does slackware not ship with a soundfont file for it?

Also, does anyone have any recommendations for a good soundfont. I'm currently trying out FluidR3-GM taken from debian and it seems reasonable. Are there any nicer ones?

Unison sound font is a good one.
The download from the original site personalcopy.com is not working anymore so here is a copy: https://bear.alienbase.nl/mirrors/pe...en/soundfonts/

Thanks Eric, much appreciated. I'll check that one out.

Looks like Unison relies on ROM based samples for certain instruments:

fluidsynth: warning: Ignoring sample '*KPianoB5': can't use ROM samples
fluidsynth: warning: Ignoring sample '*KPianoB5': too few sample data points

Which probably explains why it's much smaller than FluidR3.

This one is closer to home: https://slackbuilds.org/repository/1...uid-soundfont/ ?

Yes, that's the one I mentioned above. If you notice the homepage listed it's over at debian. I found one called GeneralUser-GS which seems reasonable too.

I have 69 different sound-fonts at 1326 MB for fluidsynth locally available. Most of them I found on the web to download from different locations. Lots of nice and interesting sounds.

you could try gusersoundfont from sbo

Here are two recent gaming-targeted ones:
