I've found that some of the soundfonts downloaded off the net don't work
properly with the fruity soundfont player. I had a chat with gol about this
in the tech support forum and it is a problem with the soundfonts themselves
which are badly programmed... it just so happens that they work by accident
on a soundfont compatible sound card.
Currently I'm trying to figure out a way to edit or create my own
soundfonts. Normally I would just use vienna sound studio, but
unfortunately this doesn't work with the kx project SBLive drivers. I've
found a couple of shareware editors that don't require you to have an SBLive
card installed, but you can't hear what you are doing :-(.
As for good places to get soundfonts, I downloaded killer accoustic drum kit
and bass soundfonts from:
http://www.naturalstudio.co.uk
You will really want these if you want an accoustic sound. There is a piano
soundfont at that address too, but it isn't so good.
hope that helps,
Andy
