Under LMMS Linux I can only handle SF2 soundfonts, while a number of free soundfonts come in either GIG or SFZ format. I'd need to convert those two into SF2 format. How to?

  • You can use SFZ in Linux: linuxsampler.org/sfz SFZ is superior to SF2 if I understand correctly.

Polyphone is cross-platform and will open sf2, sf3, sfz, and sfArk, and will save to sf2 or export to sfz or sf3. It's sf2-centric, though, so it doesn't support some features like sfz's round-robin.

Plogue sforzando is Windows (WINE?) or OS X, and will convert sfz to sf2, though the conversion did not work well for one thing I tested. Polyphone did a better job.

    Polyphone's conversion to SF2 can fail (volume of hammer sounds too loud from a piano , etc.), and neither software supports GIG.
