Is there anyone,
who'd have the time and energy to turn it into a soundfont.
I unfortunately can't, because swami is still graphics only (at least to my
knowledge). Since I'm blind, that's nothing for me.
To those, who favour the gnome accessibility point: I think Josh told me,
that it uses some customised widgets.
I'm greatful for any replies, since I've been looking for a good Melotron
for quite sometime!
Kindest regards

Is there any sort of distribution channel set up
for patches to run on all
of the glorious linux audio apps?
It would be pretty cool to have a library of cleared instruments/samples
for the community to build on. Patches for some of the advanced synths
could also be available.
There's a lot of potential for legal issues, but I'm thinking the EFF would be
Here you'll find a GPL soundfont of a fender rhodes and an hydrogen
drumkit (simply a tar.gz of flacs with a different name):
http://www.funet.fi/pub/sci/audio/instruments/lausounds/
there's also a big wav with mellotron samples, but it isn't turned into
a soundfont yet (and I don't have the time to do it) interested in this kind of thing.

Definitely, It would be very important to have a shared common patch set
(possibly high quality) to ship with the applications and linux
distributions (I'm thinking also to a relatively small GPL GM sf2 to ship
with timidity for example) - in this respect eawpat is a great resource,
but it is rather huge (around 30 megs IIRC) and if I'm right it lacks
some instruments. Obviously the task of creating a free high quality
GM soundfont is challenging and time consuming... but it would be a
great resource for us all. I think the right dimension for a GM
soundfont would be around 8/16 Mb, and is difficult to push 127
instruments into such small size...
Sorry for my english, I think it can be very involved at times:)
