Wow, nice to see such a project using FluidSynth :) I see my little
logo made it into some of your graphics as well, cool. I'm a Linux user
myself, is there any chance of using this SoundFont stand alone if one
were to download this software? Thanks for letting us know about this
project. I added it to the FluidSynth web page link section.
Best regards,
Josh Green
