What happened to sf2midi.com?

Did they close it down?

Post

They've been unreachable for a couple of days!!What's up?

I thought they might have changed their name so I did some Googling but couldn't find anything.

Yeah, I noticed the same thing. Perhaps it had to do with some of the warez people were uploading there. Pity, as they had some great original stuff stored there too. The site admin never seems to fix any of the problems there, though. It cuts off downloads after 20min on large files, people haven't been able to upload stuff recently, the admin doesn't remove warez or ban trolls...a far cry from the glory days of Hammersound, but sf2midi is the only site around that updates on a regular basis. Or did, I should say.

Damn.

Oh, sf2midi.com is back up, all right.

Now go and download all my soundfonts really fast before they go down again. All the soundfonts by "geoffkhan." Let me know what you think. :)

Geoff,

what program did you make your soundfonts in? Im having problems in that I just had bought a strings collection and theyre out of tune, and I would like to know how I could fix that. I own adobe audition (cooledit pro) and awave demo, if you could help

Oh, I use Vienna Soundfont Studio 2.3 just like most everyone else. You can download it free from the creative website (or maybe the soundfont website -- soundfont.com or something, I forget). It should be in the "resources" section.

Rather than actually editing the pitch of the samples, it will be far easier to adjust the 'fine tuning' of the instrument in Vienna Soundfont Studio.

Then again, I'm pretty sure Awave has an automatic pitch correction tool. You might want to check that out also.

If you bought the string collection, you might want to mail in to the company's support -- they should help you because, after all, you paid money for the samples. If they give you out-of-tune samples, it's their fault.

I'm not on these forums very often, so if anyone has any questions or comments, you can email me at geoffkhan@mail2jazz.com.

Synthfont has editing and it is free.

So, how do those samples sound? Besides the tuning problems.
