Yes, fluid3_gm.sf2 at that URL I posted is the uncompressed version of said mega-soundfont. It loads into my old SBlive Ok and does sound quite good. Does anyone know of a command line utility that will split up a sf2 soundfont into it's components and be able to rebuild it again, after manual modifications ? Oh, and does anyone know why sfxload has not been ported to a 100% ALSA interface ? --markc ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Alsa-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-user
