Some people will be after a sf2->gus option. I see that working fine in the short term. Reply to this email directly, view it on GitHub, or mute the thread. You are receiving this because you were mentioned. Otherwise I'll focus my efforts in supporting additional formats as well as an 'off-line' hmp/hmi 2 mid function. Is this something you are still interested, if there was time available? ) I'm far from knowledgeable about these things, so I'll be starting from ground zero.

This also needs to be robust enough handle multiple formats at once and to easily switch sample formats on the fly when a patch change occurs, so that playback of a midi is not restricted to one sample type. The main loop for events needs to be sample independent so probably the note data and pitch change events need to store a function pointer. I would like to basically accommodate this in a way that allows easier adding of other sample formats. I've spent a lot of time mulling over this as parts of the library will need rework to accommodate this.

:) I believe there is more than one way to skin this cat.

Now, if someone else wants to add support for SoundFonts another way, they are free to do so and send a PR. We know that we don't honour all the features of GUS Patches, such as modulation (in another issue that is tracked), but with unsf there are extensions to the GUS Patches that we can use to improve the sound of the patches, including those converted from SF. This plays on our strong point, which is guspat. The plan is to check the wildmidi.cfg file, if the first thing it reads is the file path to a soundfont then we have unsf create a configuration file for us and extract/convert the SF into a GUS Patch on the fly for use by WildMIDI. Once this is finished, we can use this in WildMIDI to support SF2. I'm currently in the process of creating a library and program split, removing globals and making things thread safe.

I've been working with unsf, it is public domain and I've cleaned up the bit-rot and hosting it here under the CC0 license here: Since we're not adding any additional formats at the moment, I'm looking at this again. That's the reason why Timidity's sf2 support is considered rather poor, because it effectively just converts the sf2 to pat internally and uses it that way, ignoring all the extra bits that the pat format has no concept of but the sf2 is expecting. IIRC, the GUS pat format that WildMIDI (and Timidity before it) are based on is that it doesn't really have a concept of modulators like sf2 has, but they can have a clear impact on the resulting sound. The main thing to take note of when adding sf2 support for WildMIDI, is properly implementing the modulators. I also have one called SGM which I think is a bit better, although it's notably larger at 236MB uncompressed: (I'm also not sure what it's license is, I just remember finding it in a youtube video). It's 143MB, so a bit on the large side, but it sounds pretty good with most things I've thrown at it (it's sanely licensed too, part of most/all Linux distros). FluidSynth has a pretty decent one, which I think is a good quality baseline (FluidR3_GM.sf2).
