What is the HS Collection of sf2 files ?
Cheers.
Despite these shortcomings, I found sf2 and
qsynth the only decent
alternative. Timidity worked very poorly for me. Fluidsynth doesn't
support GUS .pat files, so I couldn't use the freepat project.
Freepats project is currently trying to build soundfonts in sf2 format
and better quality samples. It is a harder task than expected, as most
free sf2 files are build from samples extracted from commercial synths
(korg, yamaha, roland...). For copyright reasons those samples can't
be bundled on a free (GPL or CC-BY licensed) soundfont, there were
legal problems in the past, see this article by Walt Gregg:
