Introducing SoundFont 2.0 Sound Sample Format! The Ultimate in Sound Creation Tools

The new SoundFont® 2.0 format allows developers, musicians and customers using the Sound Blaster AWE32 or Sound Blaster 32 with memory upgrade, to customize their special effects and musical synthesis much like changing the character font in a word processor.

SoundFont technology developed by the Joint E-mu\Creative Technology Center, provides developers and musicians with the ability to incorporate preferred instruments and effects into their scores. New sounds can be created and existing sounds can be augmented with special effects. These changes result in games and entertainment titles that are much more expressive and stimulating. SoundFont technology provides a more immersive sound experience for the end-user.

Features of SoundFont 2.0

Portable:
Supported on many wave-table synthesis-based platforms.

Exchangeable:
Easily transferred from one platform to another.

Expressive:
Allows professional sound designers to develop high-quality sounds with tremendous multiple layering effects.

Easily Customizable:
Extremely easy to customize professionally developed sounds without having to modify the original content.

Currently available from E-mu Systems, Inc. are SoundFont banks: compilations of pre-recorded instrument collections such as World Instruments, 9 Foot Grand Piano, Woodwinds, Arco Strings, Haunt Fonts and more.

For pricing and availability on SoundFont banks contact E-mu Systems, Inc. at SoundFont@emu.com
