*Package Name : opl3-soundfont Version : 1.0 Upstream Author : Zandro Reveille <zan...@googlemail.com> *URL : http://zandro.freeunixhost.com/opl3/ *License : CC-BY-SA 4.0 *Description : A SoundFont designed to simulate the classic MIDI sound of the Sound Blaster 16 (and other YM262 enabled hardware). This package provides a soundfont (sf2) that can be used by FluidSynth, Timidity and WildMidi to play MIDI (and MIDI-like files) using the samples created by the OPL3 (SB16/YM262) chip. This also allows applications like DOSBox, ZDoom and others to play back MIDI without having to emulate the OPL3, which can be costly in terms of CPU usage to emulate accurately.
