Anybody used this soundfont?

Hi,

I've been browsing through the soundfonts, and I'm wondering: has anyone heard of SGrand_D.SF2 by damon? I assume this is a Steinway model D. Is this a pretty good font? I kind of have limited bandwidth, so I need to consider carefully about downloading a 80mb file.

Hi Tim,

The "D" letter is to designate the fourth in a six part set.  There is a limit to the size of files that can be submitted, so one trick workaround is to divide the large file into smaller parts.

The S Grand series is very high quality stuff,  I looked up all 6 for you!

Beyond that, Every "GM" soundfont has a quality piano as its channel one.

Hope that's some help!

Hi,

Thanks for the response. I still have a question or two though, if you don't mind.

1: Does anyone have a demo of the Sgrand series? I'd like to hear how it sounds. I assume it's better than microsoft GS.

2: Does anyone know how it is divided up? Do I have to stitch these together?

Thanks again,
Tim
