About the ColomboGMGS2 soundfont
ColomboGMGS2 is my attempt at assembling a soundfont file to be compatible with:• General MIDI 1,
• Roland GS,
• Yamaha XG,
• And some special patches from the Roland Sound Canvas series,while maintaining a significantly low-to-average RAM footprint (around 260 MB as of late November 2024).As an actively developed soundfont, it offers a continually evolving sonic experience, where you can expect a sound that will be more pleasing to listen to, or perhaps the arrival of a new instrument that happened to be stuck in your head for an undefined amount of time.This is a mix of high-quality and legacy samples, and several presets are inspired by the software synthesizers they originate from (e.g. Yamaha S-YXG50 and SoundCanvas VA). Seeing the light of the day as a compilation soundfont, or, in layman's terms, a soundfont mash-up, ColomboGMGS2 still has its roots in many popular sound fonts, such as• Roland SC-55
• Arachno Soundfont
• Shan's GM Soundfont
• FluidR3
• Chorium
• Musyng Kite
• JV-1010
• Just T4 (TYROS 4)
and more.
