Yes, I've been using smurf for a few years. I have a pretty good library of

quite as exceptional as that beast, architecture-wise, but they're pretty
good.
is it
difficult to compile your own soundfonts...
When I was working with soundfonts, I used the smurf soundfont editor.
http://smurf.sourceforge.net/
It's new name is "swami" but I couldn't get swami to work. I can't
remember if I spent the time to read the smurf docs but not the swami
one? You can try both and see how they work for you. It just seems to me
that smurf worked without a hastle, but I really had to mess with swami.
I don't even remember if I got swami to work. But smurf works well.
I'm excited about speciman because I find
soundfonts to be a very
(un)flexible way to put instrument sets together. And it seems a bit
complicated (but made more sense as I used smurf).
Power of the GUI. I've only looked at Specimen briefly and it looks adequate.
Coming from me, that's a pretty good evaluation. (I'm jaded)
