#1#   This is not intended to be anything like a GM set, but for ease of use when you want to locate a particular sound I decided to make this a Soundfont where everything was grouped together in something like the dreaded GM layout.  Unfortunately that places most of the interesting voices at the end, so I took liberties with it.  I've tried to combine variety and playability, so that most of the sounds would be musically useful rather than "weird and wonderful".  
#2#   There's also lots of extra instruments in the 2nd. layer, starting with plenty of Pianos, a good selection of Organs, then Basses and "miscellaneous".  There's 185 instruments in both layers, but no drums.
#3#   On my 5-octave keyboard all the voices seem to be OK, but beyond that 5 octaves I've hardly checked. If this were a commercial venture I'd put the time in to make sure, but I've had enough of it now, and as it's free you can sit there and blubber if it isn't.  You'd probably never want to use those notes anyway. 
#4#   If you find this Soundfont useful, I'd appreciate a message at
gort@callnetuk.com   to let me know there was some point to it all.  (I'm that typically British thing, the plucky amateur, but there's limits to my pluck.)
#5#   This is the revised version no.2 at 77Kb, with much improved Pianos, and a bit of tweaking here and there, but there's no major changes apart from that. 
#6#   I made this soundfont with the reverb in Environmental Audio set at 6%, in case the reverb sounds odd on your machine.
 
This soundfont may not be sold or included in any commercial transaction, wholly or in part, or re-constructed in any way, but feel free to use the sounds in any musical venture. 

This is free, and I hope you can make good use of it.  No animals were seriously harmed during the making of this Soundfont.   

Have fun
Gort
