It's too bad, but there isn't a very good site collecting free soundfonts. The best is http://sf2midi.com, but it's poorly organized and doesn't accept compressed soundfonts.
http://hammersound.net was a great site but unfortunately it's no longer being managed and is out of date. Many links are dead and you can't submit new soundfonts. It's still worth looking through, though, and if you see something that looks interesting but the link is dead, try googling the soundfont name or file name.
For Rhodes electric piano, try [url=http://learjeff.com/sf/sf.html]jRhodes3[/ulr].
I suggested here on kvraudio that we need a good site to organize soundfonts, but the responses were all negative. I don't understand that!
Cheers
Jeff

I wouldn't call that a negative response...barbakane wrote:That's a great idea.
There's just nobody there currently that wants to deal with the hassle of maintaining such a site. Ask Peter/Sp33d about the Auditorium's BIG sample site, and you know enough. Lots of script kiddies to deal with, all pain and no gain.

Jeff, thanks for making that great Rhodes soundfont! It's the best I've heard ever of a classic Rhodes. I've put it to good use!

Above I was mentioning a thread from a year or so ago. And perhaps they weren't all negative, but predominantly so. I decided to try to bring it up again, which is the post you cited. Got just one reply, so there seems to be little enthusiasm from the folks who would USE the site. If there was more enthusiasm, I bet we could work out the practical issues somehow.C00kie wrote:learjeff wrote:I suggested here on kvraudio that we need a good site to organize soundfonts, but the responses were all negative.

sf2midi is hardly a be-all-end-all due to its flaws, as I mentioned above. But it is currently the best I know of. UNFORTUNATLEY!

olepro, that's a great link for someone with lots of time & patience. I've been through it myself; lots of dead links but also some good pay dirt.

What about the Crisis 3.0 gm soundfont?
It covers most of the bases very well.
Problem is it's massive, and not all soundfont players can handle it properly.
As for vst sf2 players, only Synthfont can handle it whithout a glitch on my athlon xp2400.
1.5 gigs makes for a pretty large sf2, lol.
