Good article. Sound Font was originally a format used by, IIRC, Creative Labs sound cards. The ubiquity of their products on the market is what got it to be something of a standard. I don't know the exact time it came into being, but I seem to remember it predates the GS and XG standards created by Roland and Yamaha. That said, much of the way those standards work is based in standard MIDI messages, so good programming practice should make them possible at least on the patch level. (FX are a different matter) The reason the most recent version of BassMIDI has latency problems is because they used a standard library for Windows 7 that has latency problems -- all drivers and applications that use this library have this problem. I'd be interested in learning about some sound font editors, as I need to set up a bank of early music patches for some of the compositions I do. And of course I'd also like to find sound fonts of crumhorns, shawms, different types of harpsichords, and some of the really rare instruments like portatives.
