GeneralUser GS SoftSynth version 1.44 - for use with most software synthesizers, especially those that don't support SoundFont 2.01 modulators.GeneralUser GS Live!/Audigy version 1.44 - for use with Sound Blaster sound cards (Live! or Audigy series recommended, should also work with X-Fi cards).GeneralUser GS 1.471 - for use with FluidSynth 1.0.9 or later, apps built with FluidSynth, MuseScore 2.0.3 or later, SynthFont2 2.0.3.0 or later, and VSTSynthFont 1.080 or later.(See my blog post Using SoundFonts in 2016 for more information on this matter.) For these unsupported SoundFont synths, you can download an older "SoftSynth" version of GeneralUser GS below that cuts out a lot of the special programming and is less likely to result in broken-sounding presets. Most other SoundFont synths do not support all of the programming I have used in GeneralUser GS and will cause many of the presets to sound incorrect. While the current version of GeneralUser GS can be used with the hardware synthesizer found in many Sound Blaster audio cards, you will achieve better results using a version that was designed especially for this hardware (see list of downloads below). Compatible synths include FluidSynth 1.0.9 or later (and other software that uses FluidSynth such as Qsynth, LMMS, and ScummVM, just to name a few), MuseScore 2.0.3 or later, SynthFont2 2.0.3.0 or later, and VSTSynthFont 1.080 or later. The current version of GeneralUser GS requires a SoundFont synth with support for SoundFont 2.01 modulators. Christian Collins, played using GeneralUser GSĪlthough GeneralUser GS was originally designed for use with Sound Blaster audio cards, the most recent development has been focused on SoundFont-compatible software instead.
GeneralUser GS also works well with the MuseScore music notation software if you are looking for an alternative to MuseScore's stock instrument sounds:ĭownload | sheet music (MuseScore file) | March of the Muse by S.

Listen to the following MIDI files played through GeneralUser GS: It's not a great name, but that's what I came up with almost 20 years ago, and I haven't bothered to change it. I decided on the name "GeneralUser" because the bank was designed to sound well with all kinds of music rather than specializing in only a few styles, thereby benefiting the general user. Due to its clever, detailed sound programming, GeneralUser GS can sound as good or better than SoundFonts that are 2-3 times its size. It features 259 instrument presets and 11 drum kits, all while possessing a very low memory footprint (less than 30 MB of RAM). GeneralUser GS is a GM and GS compatible SoundFont bank for composing, playing MIDI files, and retro gaming.
