GeneralUser GS is a GM and GS compatible SoundFont bank for composing
or playing MIDI files. This version is for use with FluidSynth (or
Qsynth) (other versions are available for MuseScore, Sound Blaster
Live!/Audigy/X-fi sound cards, and other SoundFont-compatible hardware
and software synthesizers).
The name "GeneralUser" was chosen because the bank was designed to sound
well with all kinds of music rather than specializing in only a few
styles, thereby benefiting the general user.
Should fluidsynth require this, or mention the possibility?
Currently, a fresh install of fluidsynth requires the user
to go find a SF2 file somewhere.
$ cat /usr/ports/audio/fluidsynth/pkg/DESCR
FluidSynth is a cross-platform real-time software synthesizer based on the
SoundFont 2 specifications including realtime effect modulation. It provides
a library and command-line shell, and can be used to play MIDI files, as
well as acting as a MIDI device via the sndio(7) interface.
To use FluidSynth, you will need to provide a SoundFont 2 file; a general-
purpose file is available in the generaluser-gs-soundfont package.
