music
with SoundFonts In case you've ended up here from a link or search engine and are wondering what this is about -- SoundFonts are audio samples in a specific format. They are used by musicians and composers to create music using particular sounds that they want. If you have a Sound Blaster Live or Audigy then you can use SoundFonts - you will additionally need a MIDI keyboard to actually play, and a MIDI interface for your computer (almost all sound-cards have a MIDI interface built-in, but you might need to buy a cable for it). Then, you'll need some sort of MIDI or audio recording software package such as Steinberg Cubase, Emagic Logic, or Cakewalk Sonar in order to record and edit your compositions. If you use a software sampler such as Steinberg Halion, Native Instruments Kontakt you can import SoundFonts so as to use the samples contained in them. For a free program which uses SoundFonts check out SynthFont Free MP3: I.O.U.

Please note, because MP3 compression is applied, the sound quality of these demo files does not accurately represent the true sound quality of the SoundFonts - the MP3 compression loses a certain amount of depth and clarity, especially at higher frequencies.
