No. This is the best SC-55 soundfont!

EmperorGrieferus is back at it again!  Recently he seems to have made several updates to his SC-55 soundfont.

 

In all of my testing, I have found his to be the closest to recordings I have of the Doom soundtrack - recorded from an actual Roland SC-55 MKII.

 

Instructions for best results....

 

1) Download LZDoom 3.88b from here and extract it to a folder on your PC using 7-zip.

 

2) Download EmperorGrieferus' SC-55 soundfont from its official link here, and move it to your main LZDoom folder (in the same folder where lzdoom.exe is).

 

3) Download a preset for LZDoom 3.88b, which I made, from here.  This has some minor tweaks to the audio, and is also mostly supposed to replicate the 'stock' doom experience.  This also needs to be extracted to the main LZDoom folder.

 

Once complete, the folder structure should look like this (with doom.wad, naturally)...

I would highly recommend you give this a go.  It'll probably only take 5 minutes of your time, and the result will be worthwhile.

 

To get started, simply open "LZDoom.bat".  Enjoy!

@Mods think I posted this in the wrong section.  Can you please move to Doom General, or wherever this should be?

Is there a changelog for the soundfont updates? Curious what has been done.

I do not know, but will ask him.  All I know is that the file seems to be getting smaller.  For a while it was 90mb, then 80, and only now we're at 70mb.

From the comments in the soundfont itself:

Oh, by the way, expect the soundfont to lose a lot of weight, this ROM soundfont really inspired me. Plus upcoming summer. 

That "ROM soundfont" he is referring to is about 10 MB, so there's still a lot of room for improvement.

@NightFright yeah, I didn't even think of looking in the file itself.  Thanks.

 

Credit where credit is due...

Edit: ignore my name.  I'm too lazy to take a new screenshot.
