musescore-general-soundfont-lossless binary package in Ubuntu Focal arm64
This is the HQ version for the new standard soundfont of MuseScore 2.2
and newer, in uncompressed SF2 format. It has a significantly larger
disc footprint than its corresponding SF3, but is identical other than
not compressing the samples with a lossy algorithm. This avoids audible
Vorbis artefacts and the excessively long MuseScore startup time with
compressed soundfonts and can be used by SF3-incompatible synthesisers.
.
This release of the soundfont supports Single-Note Dynamics with
MuseScore 3.2 and higher.
.
MuseScore_
soundfont programming features, while being a compatible drop-in
replacement for the less heavyweight MuseScore_General soundfont,
providing the complete GM (General MIDI) sound set, with separate
ensemble samples for several instruments, and some extras.
.
It can be used with almost all MIDI synthesisers (with SoundFont 2.01
support) although bugs in early implementations (e.g. MuseScore before
version 2.2) cause sound degradation. (Install fluidr3mono-
which has a compatible instrument assignment for those it supports.)
.
As it comes under the MIT licence, it can be used in most settings,
but do remember that waveforms generated using this soundfont are
“copies or substantial portions of the” soundfont.
.
The musescore-
soundfont (as shipped with MuseScore 3.x), lossily SF3 compressed.
The musescore-
HQ version of the soundfont (with separate ensembles instruments
and other large improvements) as SF3, whereas the SF2 HQ version
is packaged as musescore-
synthesisers lacking SF3 support, by audiophiles, and to avoid
long MuseScore startup times; however with a large disc footprint.
.
This package will be installed into /usr/share/
is the standard Debian location for system-wide SF2 soundfonts.
