Gravis Ultrasound.sf2 (Gravis Ultrasound)

Gravis Ultrasound.sf2 (Gravis Ultrasound) is a soundfont (.sf2) that emulates the sound of a Gravis Ultrasound soundcard. It was created using PAT2DLS, but the creator of the soundfont is unknown.

Gravis Ultrasound was a soundcard found in IBM PC compatible system platforms.

Sadly, this soundfont does not properly emulate a Gravis Ultrasound soundcard, due to a few out of tune instruments, but doesn't do too badly at emulating the sound of an original Gravis Ultrasound soundcard.

A few other soundfonts for Gravis Ultrasound exist; Eawpats.sf2 (Gravis Ultrasound) & Gravis_Ultrasound_Classic_PachSet_v1.6.sf2 by ArekR.

For several years, all of the links became 404 pages, and there were currently no known links to this soundfont anymore, due to the original soundfont being taken down, until July 5, 2020, when Doomkid uploaded a 40 Soundfonts pack at Doomworld, which includes Gravis Ultrasound.sf2 and other 39 soundfonts in a 1.3 GB RAR file.

Important Notes
Some instruments are glitched or too high pitched.

Avoid playing any midi files with this soundfont if they contain any of the following instruments:


 * Piccolo (becomes off-pitch & glitchy after a second)
 * Flute (becomes glitchy after a second)
 * Pan Flute (higher pitch than usual)
 * Helicopter (Will infinitely play until the end of the song)

Review
Out of the three possible Gravis Ultrasound soundfonts I would actually recommend using eawpats over this, since this soundfont sadly has some slightly glitched instruments.

However, it is more stable than Gravis_Ultrasound_Classic_PachSet_v1.6.sf2 by ArekR, so this attempt at recreating Gravis Ultrasound's midi playback is actually okay.

Also, it works well with software that supports Fluidsynth (such as VLC Media Player), and does not have any instruments in the wrong patches.

This was the version of a Gravis Ultrasound .sf2 file I used to use a lot before I found out about eawpats.
