Hello everyone!
I just got a brand new midi keyboard and i'm very excited! Anyway, i was wondering if anybody knows where i could find some good quality samples of electric keyboards (like the Rhodes), for free (yes, i m using Pd also because it is free and because i m not exactly a millionnaire, although i like it so much now that i don't think i'd use anything else if i were that rich. Anyways...).
If you're looking for soundfonts there're a lot at: http://www.hammersound.net/
A lot of them are terrible, but there are quite a few usable ones in there.
To use them in FluidSynth (or using the QSynth front-end) you'll want to get them in .sf2 format. Sometimes they're in .sfArk format, which is a compressed format that I think you need to use a windows tool to un-compress. It may work in wine, though.
