Very good to hear. So I guess we will have a softsynth soon ;-)

As far as I know, the synth files from BeOS are not freely
distributable, so we can't use them. I don't have much experience
with SoundFonts, but they sound like a good alternative. Are there
any good, free, SoundFont banks out there that are not too big to
put in the final OpenBeOS download? (By the way, Michael Pfeiffer
already wrote some code to reverse engineer the format used by the
BeOS softsynth. You can find his code in
/current/src/tests/kits/midi/synth_file_reader.)
