Swarplug is another option. Only Indian instruments though.

Is there any way to still get the Emu Old World Instruments soundfont. The demo sounded good. they closed down the soundfont.com website.

Neither free nor cheap but very high quality...

I have the Emu World Instruments CDROM for the Emu sampler - is that the same kinda thing? I'm guessing it could be transfered over to a soundfont?...

sfpack is just compressed sf2 files - like zip for soundfonts

get the program to unpack them here.

Yes. They used to have a soundfont site, but closed it down awhile after launcing proteus x and emulator x. I have seen the version for the sampler for sale on some sites, but nor
t the soundfont version.

Is there an app that can convert the Emu sampler version to soundfont? If so I would buy the Emu sampler version.

It has a lot of decent ethnic/asian sounds.

Thanks for pointing this out. I actually had seem this before and was hoping things had changed when I saw your post.

It requires the emulator x or proteus x in order to use it.

That's what I was going to say.

Most authentic stuff you'll ever find, IMO. A lot of focus on realism in the samples, too.

Asian sounds
