deadpixel Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 Pardon my complete ignorance, but what exactly does it mean when searching for SoundFonts and you see something like "GM" or "GS"..etc? Thanks! <3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OverCoat Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 GM means it's mapped to the GM standard layout. GS means... the same thing, only mapped to the GS layout. Also, a tip for the forum: Your topic title should mention the question, instead of it just being "I have a question" etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadpixel Posted May 23, 2006 Author Share Posted May 23, 2006 Oh, my appologies. But realize my ignorance here -- I don't know what GM / GS is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoozer Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 Then why not ask "What is GM/GS?" . GM: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_MIDI GS: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_MIDI#GS_extensions Here's the list of GM instruments: http://www.midi.org/about-midi/gm/gm1sound.shtml If I choose preset nr. 51 on a GM-mapped device, it means I hear that instrument's version of the GM "Synth Strings" preset.
