Now you're just grasping at straws.
how am i grasping at straws? you made an argument about filesizes being absurd when yours are larger than mine are.
i feel it's stupid arguing over it anyways, blockland
should be able to download a 1.5MB set in less than a second now-a-days
but of course
torque
giving a 6th octave to a few instruments (a whole 11 datablocks) that could easily be heard using the 6th octave (wind instruments would be a good example) wouldn't be a big deal. drop a portion of the 3rd octave if need be, let the bass instruments use that.
Okay, somehow the way I was playing them back at first was cutting them off akwardly. Sorry about that.
it's fine
Many of the soundsets are technically "MIDI" by some stretch of the imagination, but they come from high-quality soundfonts. A couple (banjo, harmonica, melodica) are even edited from live recordings of my instrument collection. Taking sounds from Roland SC-55 is pretty much the worst thing you could do, quality-wise.
us linux users usually don't have anything by default, so we also use soundfonts
i just got what i could get to easily, if i wanted to look around for better quality ones to use with OpenMPT, i could. these were more of "hey my idea works, here's an example"
EDIT: i wouldn't have lashed out as much if it weren't for the "Sorry, hamburger." at the end, it came off to me as snarky
