No matter how much I try to search, I only end up with MIDI information sites, any set will do fine, since I only have the basic set.

Thanks, any unofficial set will be great.

I posted last year looking for GM soundfonts, and got many replies.
I can't find the post at the moment, but if you search under my avatar name, it might show up.

Although not a soundfont, my current favorite GM soundsets are
(1) Sonic Reality Omnisoundz2 (Kontakt Player)
(2) Wusikstation GM soundset
(although I have a boatload of others, including the original Sampletank-based Omnisynth, Forte DXI, Edirol VSC-MP1, and others).

Ntonyx 32MB GM soundfont is free, and pretty decent

Hammersound and other sites have GM soundfonts as well, although they tend to be a mixed bag - one may have great brass but mediocre strings, another may have good strings but terrible Hammond organ, etc.

If I remember correctly, sf2midi has reviews and/or ratings for many of the soundfonts from those who download them. The quality really does vary considerably.

i've gotten some really good ones (the casio sets and the analog synths), and then I gave gotten some real crap (horns, theremin...). I would definitely sign up for sfmidi2. they NEVER send any spam and have a huge selection. for free. can't beat that with a stick.

And I'd imagine a large number of the entries have long since disappeared, too, sadly.
