 Here's a demo of the V. Smile SF2 I've mostly finished, so everyone can hear how it sounds currently. It uses the Basics in Behavior MIDI from one of my previous posts.  Demo

April's getting closer, so why don't I talk about more audio-related things I've been up to in the past months? • V. Smile Soundfont Since about a month ago, I've been collecting V. Smile ROMs to rip instruments from with iDog Hacker's "V.Ripper" Python script. The soundfont needs a bit of polishing, but I'll probably upload it some time around April. •  MIDIs I haven't talked about this much, but I usually make MIDI transcriptions of certain songs (mostly ringtones or meme music). I'm currently brainstorming of ways to share them, so stay tuned. • Messing around with CMX Studio Ever since I heard of Qualcomm's CMX Studio software via Old Phone Preservation's Twitter, I've started messing around with it and scrapped the idea of a CMX SF2. That's all I have for now, so stay tuned for the next blog post!

 Ever since I found the source of some of the samples that were used in the Odyssey Globe soundbank (Leap-font), I have wanted to look for the rest of the samples since. Here's demos of the soundfont currently using a Basics in Behavior MIDI. Loops the original soundfont used Loops the samples from the original source used I'm currently working on it some more and looking for more sources, so stay tuned! 

 For a while I've tried ripping audio from my Huawei U3900 through its 3.5mm headphone jack. It's a little tedious to get the setup working but I managed to get audio of my Yamaha MA Sound Demo 035 MIDI transcription playing on its CMX bank. Audio The buzzing is coming from my cheap PC's aux jack, so it doesn't sound so good.
