This soundfont contains one instrument on the standard #19 Church Organ bank.  Let me start out by saying a big thank-you to John McCoy for creating the Jeux soundfont (http://members.aol.com/realmac/jeux1.htm)!  I have used samples from his soundfont and mixed them together to create this new Gothic Organ that I hope you will like.  I don't take credit for the tedious work involved in creating the samples!  I just simply tweaked them.



A note on how to use this soundfont -

Reverb is essential to make this soundfont sound great!!



I have found that for those of us who use Creative SB Live! cards, the best setting for this sound font is the "Concert Hall" Environmental Audio setting.  A Reverb of 50% can be a bit much, so I like to use 30% reverb.  To change this, open up your Environmental Audio control panel, choose "Concert Hall" as your environment, and then adjust the Reverb slider down to about 30%.  You may want to experiment with this.  Chorus should be left to 0%.

For those of us who own different sound cards, such as the AWE64, I have not tested this soundfont on them.  The soundfont is about 330KB so it should fit within the built-in RAM on your card just fine.
