Please note that starting with version 1.44, the license has changed. Additional setup instructions are included in the README file included in the archive. This usually requires GeneralUser GS to be loaded into bank 0, and any other SoundFonts loaded into bank 0 to be removed prior. Please follow your synth/sound card's documentation for instructions on loading GeneralUser GS as the default GM/GS bank. Want to be notified of updates? Follow me on Twitter: Follow Installation Some of the information in the included text files is outdated. The sound card's sample RAM must be expanded to the max allowed (32 MB, but only 28 MB is usable). GeneralUser GS 1.35 - the last version that is compatible with the AWE32/AWE64 sound cards.

Please download the current version above instead. GeneralUser GS MuseScore version 1.442 - NOTE: Only use with MuseScore 2.0.2 or earlier versions! Bug #72091 was fixed in MuseScore 2.0.3, so there is no longer need for a separate MuseScore version of GeneralUser GS.

GeneralUser GS SoftSynth version 1.44 - for use with most software synthesizers, especially those that don't support SoundFont 2.01 modulators.

#SOUNDFONTS FOR LMMS SERIES#

GeneralUser GS Live!/Audigy version 1.44 - for use with Sound Blaster sound cards (Live! or Audigy series recommended, should also work with X-Fi cards).GeneralUser GS 1.471 - for use with FluidSynth 1.0.9 or later, apps built with FluidSynth, MuseScore 2.0.3 or later, SynthFont2 2.0.3.0 or later, and VSTSynthFont 1.080 or later.

(See my blog post Using SoundFonts in 2016 for more information on this matter.) For these unsupported SoundFont synths, you can download an older 'SoftSynth' version of GeneralUser GS below that cuts out a lot of the special programming and is less likely to result in broken-sounding presets. Most other SoundFont synths do not support all of the programming I have used in GeneralUser GS and will cause many of the presets to sound incorrect. While the current version of GeneralUser GS can be used with the hardware synthesizer found in many Sound Blaster audio cards, you will achieve better results using a version that was designed especially for this hardware (see list of downloads below). Compatible synths include FluidSynth 1.0.9 or later (and other software that uses FluidSynth such as Qsynth, LMMS, and ScummVM, just to name a few), MuseScore 2.0.3 or later, SynthFont2 2.0.3.0 or later, and VSTSynthFont 1.080 or later. The current version of GeneralUser GS requires a SoundFont synth with support for SoundFont 2.01 modulators. Christian Collins, played using GeneralUser GSĪlthough GeneralUser GS was originally designed for use with Sound Blaster audio cards, the most recent development has been focused on SoundFont-compatible software instead. GeneralUser GS also works well with the MuseScore music notation software if you are looking for an alternative to MuseScore's stock instrument sounds:ĭownload | sheet music (MuseScore file) | March of the Muse by S.

Listen to the following MIDI files played through GeneralUser GS: It's not a great name, but that's what I came up with almost 20 years ago, and I haven't bothered to change it. I decided on the name 'GeneralUser' 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. Due to its clever, detailed sound programming, GeneralUser GS can sound as good or better than SoundFonts that are 2-3 times its size. It features 259 instrument presets and 11 drum kits, all while possessing a very low memory footprint (less than 30 MB of RAM). VSTs like Magical8BitPlug and NES VST (the same ones that Toby Fox used for his music) produces the best results IMO, but they cannot be imported into LMMS (I am not sure why).GeneralUser GS is a GM and GS compatible SoundFont bank for composing, playing MIDI files, and retro gaming. For the chiptune instruments aspect, the built-in NES and Game Boy synths are also pretty dope, but their sounds sound a bit off and unnatural to me. I have looked for SoundFont player VSTs, but most of them are for Win32, and cannot be imported into LMMS or similar DAWs. I have been a user of LMMS since about 2020, and found out that its soundfont player is dope (no lie I have released a lot of MIDI reskin covers of popular songs using sounds from soundfonts that are put inside that Soundfont player).īut I feel there are something missing about the soundfont player: No envelopes unlike FL’s SoundFont player, no reverb (in short, no advanced options to manipulate the sounds made by a soundfont’s sample).
