Creating soundfonts

[lazygecko]

I'm looking for a not all too fancy program for creating my own .sf2 libraries with. I've heard the name Vienna pop up from time to time, but I can't find it anywhere and it seems like Creative stopped supporting it a long time ago. Right now the name seems to be reserved for those humongous orchestral libraries.

Vienna's right here: http://www.soundblaster.com/soundfont/downloads.asp

I never got Vienna to work - it'd just close immediately after starting. Might have been a sound card compatibility thing, but I didn't need to solve it. Instead, I picked up Viena here. It's apparently modeled after Vienna (not that I'd know what Vienna is like). I haven't actually made a soundfont with it yet, but it looks functional enough that I could if I put in the time.

Vienna hates my soundcard apparently. I will try out Viena.

I found another tool called Alive, though it isn't free and I wouldn't want to spend money on something I will only use once.

I'm about to rip my hair off over the fact that Viena refuses to save my velocity range settings.
