STBB 871: General Midi
Thanks for the votes, means a lot.
Inspired by a recent Jonwayne video….
Watch for more details but General Midi tried to standardise the sounds for ‘default midi’ so I’ve created a sound font similar to the one that Jon discusses in the video (GM2).
TLDR: Can a beat be made in 2023 that sounds good from the General Midi 2 pack?
I’ve also sampled every patch to some .wav files, if you don’t want to install any other VST's into your DAW.
If you don’t use the .wav files then you will need something that can play .sf2 files - I have been using TX16Wx: https://www.tx16wx.com/download/
The .wav files all contain 4 sounds, C3, C2, C1 & C0 so you should have range to re-pitch and sample.
The drums allowed are also in the sample pack and mostly come from the CR80 to keep it the same era.
All effect are allowed and encouraged to flavour your stock sounds!
Nothing external allowed

Joa, I did try and think of something for the 5th birthday but struggled to find a ruleset that would work - and although its 5 years here there are a lot of people that have been competing a lot longer than that. Maybe someone can work something out for next week?
