To clarify, I used the freepats Debian/Ubuntu package...
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
Wait... Freepats is trying to be "build soundfonts in sf2 format" out
of... free sf2 files? What is the added value?
Anyway, how will this stack up against the Fluid soundfont, which is
also widely included in Linux distributions?
Note that the freepats web is outdated, most
announcements are made in
the mailing list.
I noticed... If at least there was a notice to that effect it wouldn't
be so confusing...
