Who ?

Like CGM1.8, Crisis General Midi 3.0 has been made freely, for free. It's my contribution for the musicians community.
All musicians over the world can load and use freely CGM3.0 without any restriction excepted this one : CGM3.0 is not for commercial use. Thanks to follow this simple condition.
Also, if you want to add CGM3.0 to a compilation or a magazine, it will be kind to ask me before.
Because CGM3.0 has been partially made with samples and instruments from the web, sometime without signature, it's possible i've used any copyrighted sources. If you recognize they, please, keep me informed. Although, all must be free.
All knowed sources are mentioned with the author's name in the following preset's sheet.

Why ?

I love sounds and technology. One of my hobbies is to create musics with my PC and to play with music softwares. I'm not a musician, i'm a technician.
I was be very irritated to see it's needed to pay some Soundfonts, concidering it's very simple to create one. And i've been totally outraged when i've seen a lot of shareware and commercial products too many expensive, regarding their poor quality.
It's why i've decided to make my own General Midi Soundfont. CGM1.8 was born. But quickly i've not been satisfied with the result. And CGM3.0 was born, too.
My personnal attempt to give a Real Professionnal tool, for free.

How ?

CGM3.0 has been carefully done, after a long time passed over the Web. During three years, i've searched on the Web and Peer to peer network to find good free samples and instruments.
Also, i've created and sampled many instruments by myself, using VSTI or my SW1000xg card and her Plg-An daughter board. Sampling has been made with help and material support of professionnals and instruments sellers.
When i've made CGM1.8, my purpose was be to obtain the smallest Soundfont with the highest quality. CGM3.0 don't strive on this way. Only one standard has been keeped : quality.
Crisis General midi 3.0 is about 1.57 Go uncompressed. It's impossible to load this huge Soundfont into memory with the Creative's tools and cards.
To hear CGM3.0, you'll need at least a strong CPU (like Athlon 64 3200+), 1.5 Go of ram (2.0 Go are recommended) and a special software, called Soundfont synthesizer. There is some free softwares able to do that, but "Synthfont" and "XMPlay" are the best.
If you're a musician using VSTI compatible sequencer, there is some good plug-ins to use big Soundfonts quietly : Bismark, SFz+, Kompakt, SynthfontVSTI, and many more.
Follow these links to learn how to install and to configure Synthfont and XMPlay.

Thanks !

CGM3.0 isn't only my work. There is many contributors, directly involved or not, mentioned in the downloadable presets sheet below. To all those artists and music lovers, thanks!
But, despite the huge job which has been performed, this Soundfont could not be finished without the precious help of Kenneth Rundt, author of "Synthfont" and "Viena Synthfont".
Kenneth has supported me, creating a special version of his Soundfont editor to identify some corruption problems than i've encountered with the *.sf2 file format. People, have a look on the Synhfont Web site and don't hesitate to support his project. MANY, MANY THANKS, Kenneth!
