Ocarina Of Time Soundfont Download

Some guy on Glitchkill went ahead and made a soundfont of Ocarina of Time's sampleset using N64SampleTool. And since both it and SF64 share many instruments, it can be used in a lot of Star Fox fanmade stuff. It doesn't have the instruments that are exclusive to SF64, but all the shared instruments used in both games are there and they sound great.

This would sound better if I did a reduction on it to make the samples not muddy-up so much. Also, I was a bit lazy on the sequencing. Normally I would add more dynamics and articulation, but I did not do so because this was not a serious project and such things are time consuming. For this, I pretty much just read the score into Cubase, added enough balance so the melody comes through, added a tempo track, and a little reverb.

My problem is when selecting instruments within the soundfont, after the 3rd or 4th sound I pick, the inspector menu jumps to a completely different soundfont. This is pretty consistent behaviour after cycling through 3-4 instruments.

However, if I navigate via the Logic library to a soundfont (EXS24) then click on the name of a sound it sometimes jumps to the name of a completely different soundfont (that is stored in a completely different logic preset folder) to the one I actually clicked on.

I wanted this to be a no compromises soundfont without going too far into "realism" and making everything sound bland. My main focuses while making this were how well the instruments sounded together and the sound quality of each instrument. I tried to aim for something similar to the "Arachno Soundfont", specifically its excellent mastering and ability to sound good with basically everything you play with it. I hoped to get something similar to that using higher quality, more modern instruments without losing the upbeat energy and cheesiness that midis have. I avoided trying to make this soundfont sound super realistic and true to life because that is basically impossible to do with General Midis (and it just sounds bad). I have been working on this for about a year now and I hope all that work shows.

So where did I actually get all of these sounds? Off the internet of course! I got various free soundfonts and VSTs (many of which were just a single instrument) and compiled them together into one (sort of) tight, GM sized package. None of the instruments I got for this were made by me (hence, the name of the soundfont), so I hope no one gets mad at me for posting this. I would credit the authors, but I genuinely don't remember where I got most of these sounds from. I did use only free source material for this, so I hope that protects my ass from licensing issues.

I have been using soundfont for games for a while now, but I decided I didn't want to keep this to myself forever and wanted to share this soundfont with you guys. I would like to hear your guy's feedback on how I can improve the soundfont!

Something that can be an issue, especially with higher-filesize like Arachno and Timbres of Heaven is that the samples sound nowhere near the GM 'standards' (used loosely here), which makes them sound more modern, which is completely subjective, but I think soundfonts like those sound out-of-place with classic Videogame soundtracks.

However, this soundfont is very reminiscent of classic soundfonts, while being higher-quality, which is something I enjoy. Especially with the sample tracks you provided, it sounds very clean, yet not out-of-place with the classic songs you chose.

This makes me worry, in the interest of internet preservation, that this soundfont could be potentially taken-down due to licensing issues. I hope that the worst doesn't come to happen, as that would be a bummer.

I didn't expect to update this so soon, but I've been screwing around with this soundfont a little bit and realized that some of the mixing is a bit off. This update rebalances ALL the instruments to be closer to the SC55 (or at least EmperorGrieferus's SC55 soundfont). I also did a few tweaks to some instruments like the strings and saw wave, but overall, everything should sound the same, although better mixed. The download link at the top has been updated with the new version.

Yea, it's probably a good idea to credit the authors. I have been completely dreading this because I deleted all of the original files I used for the soundfont when I reset my computer a while ago. I have started a big ol' list of sources, but DAMN is it a pain in the ass. I have to basically go off memory and frantic Google searches just to find everything. I made pretty good progress though, but now it is late and I am very tired.

boy it sure is a good thing that the doom modding community in particular and game modding communities in general don't make big practices about cribbing resources from licensed works at all, otherwise this kind of sentiment might just come across as hall monitor nonsense

I've always had a problem with this soundfont and that everything was WAY too loud. I just assumed that because the instruments are denser and higher quality, they just sounded louder. Yea, turns out it's just because the mixing wasn't good... AGAIN.

This time when remixing however, I used the Windows Default Soundfont and an actual volume meter to rebalance everything. It turned out MUCH better than I expected. Everything song should sound as they should now! (With probably a few differences, but hey -- that's what more updates are for!)

You know how I said that I would update this soundfont if things don't sound as they should? Well, I have been using this some more and realized that the attack and release times for every instrument were slightly off. This means that sounds would fade in and out at different amounts of time compared to what was intended by the midi's composer. I fixed this by copying the attack and release values from the windows default soundfont, which most midi songs were designed for. Now instruments behave similar to the Roland SC-55, meaning midis should play as intended.

I also removed the forced reverb and chorus effects from every instrument. Before, each instrument's values were for reverb and chorus were set at 50%, like how it is on Trevor0402's SC-55 Soundfont. Although those settings sound good on their soundfont, it made mine sound all bloated and muffled. Removing the effects, instruments sound a lot cleaner and the mix as a whole feels more spacious.

When I first started working on this update, I was planning on just focusing on fixing all the minor issues of the soundfont. After some time though, I began to look into some VSTs and decided that I wanted to start sampling them again. I lost interest in VSTs a while ago because how boring and time consuming they are to sample. But now that I am more familiar with Polyphone (the soundfont editing program I am using) and am using a simpler DAW (SoundBridge), sampling has become easier (still takes a long ass time though).

The first instrument I sampled was the Dulcimer because the VST I found sounded really good and the old instrument in the soundfont kind of sucks. That turned out really good, though I haven't actually found a MIDI that uses it.

Hey there again! I took a short break from this soundfont because I was getting burned out from working on it so much. I was planning on doing a huge update where I add in a bunch of new instruments, but they take forever to make and even longer to make them sound good. Still, I got a pretty good selection of new instruments done in this update. I'm happy with how they turned out, but I feel like the size of the soundfont is starting to become a issue. Yea, I did say this was a "no compromises soundfont", but I also don't want it to be ridiculously huge. I'm not exactly the best at keeping things tight and nicely optimized, so if this soundfont becomes bigger in future updates, I'm sorry!

I used yellow cloth to muse this time.

I put the cloth (haven't cut yet) beneath the fretboard so that the cloth is less slippy.

But still I feel some difficulty to mute especially recording middle strings, 3rd, 4th.

Complete the recording of samples and give a link to the beta version of the soundfont.

After that (and if you have permission): By working on this material, I can design many useful sounds from just one set of samples. And it's a nice gift to the users.

If we define it like this, at least the subBank may comply with the GS standard and the Main Preset (000) can comply with the GM standard. (And when another soundfont is used in the score where this bank is not available, it will return (fallback) to the main patch..)

Open guitar strings do not have the same sound/timbre as fretted string sounds.

Since only one place is reserved for the same note number in a soundfont, it would be better to use notes in closed-position here. // for sound/timbre continuity.

Hi Kazuma,

Thank you very much for this remarkable work. I followed this thread from day to day (and thanks to Ziya for the essential help) and I was very impatient to discover this soundfont!

I've just tried it: all in all, it's a big step forward. On the other hand, I don't like sounds to be deprived of any resonance, not really like staccatos, but that's the idea, just so you understand (try this soundfont too, you'll see/hear much better what I mean: -977494)

The sound is muffled, like put under a cloth, something like that, or it's kind of like playing with a mute. In a word, it lacks "breath". Now, this resonance is really an essential aspect of the sound of a guitar. So it's a criticism, but I want it to be constructive, I hope you'll understand it :)

Anyway, after very concentrated weeks, I think I need some rest :)

Ziya, you are my best mentor ever, your advises are all what I really want to know for a long time.

I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

These are also good.

But the samples on strings "d", "g" and "b" are a little muffled as if they were played without fingernails.

You better sample these by playing with your fingernail again. Because when these are combined, the difference becomes clear.

Otherwise we will have to soften it all, and this time it will all be muffled. e24fc04721
