I'm just unpacking this now and I owe MechaGodzilla a debt of gratitute I was totally fine with coming up with close-enough patches with other equipment but with some tweaking in my sampler this is a fucking bullseye. Plus, they have other dope games in this link.

Thank you my guy.

Holy fuck Final Fantasy 6 soundfont including the drum kit! This needs to get into my Circuit ASAP!

I've spent many nights playing with different SNES noises until the small hours and now I've spread the curse to you guys.

I've a few soundfonts saved up in folders somewhere, but never got around to figuring out how to use them. What software are you guys running?

[MechaGodzilla]

I haven't done it for ages but iirc, I just dragged them into ableton and they're turned into sampler presets that you can edit/save.

So, I have little clue what any of this means, but could these things be loaded into a hardware sampler and used for making sounds which one can hear?

I would think they need to be converted -- sound fonts are a package of the sample, but also instructions about how to play it -- like start, end, loop points, which sample to play based on velocity, etc.

I've been playing around with these a bit this morning and it's awesome! Also a great reminder of it's really the composition that makes these game themes so incredible. Being able to hear the individual sounds within the arrangements is

Reason takes SoundFonts like a champ. I've had to adjust pitch on one or two, but it reads the start/end and loop points perfectly. NN-XT has an amp envelope, filters, and modulation so it's been really easy to make dynamic instruments out of them. I made a little Metroid drum kit in Kong using the percussive sounds.

Excellent. Thanks!
