My MIDI files were designed to sound fittingly with a Sound
Blaster AWE32 1 sound card
(General Midi Standard configuration for Creative
Advanced Wave Effects Synthesis instruments): don't expect
perfect (or sometimes even just good) results with a different
hardware or a different configuration !
For slightly better instrumental sounds, you may try and use the sound
fonts provided hereafter (samples and font design by myself)
or in some cases (singled out with a * in the Sound Font column)
the excellent and free Aegean
Symphonic Orchestra Soundfont (just extract and use the .sf2
file present in the archive).
I have been taught musical theory (and the piano) at the Conservatoire municipal de Paris XIIIème for more than 11 years since I was seven. My musical studies included classical harmony and counterpoint but neither composition nor orchestration, which I tried and learnt in books (especially professor Walter Piston's).
