where is the Sc88pro soundfont

[youngdoomer1234]

Hey um this si my first post but i have been looking for a sc88 pro soundfont but all i can find kis sc88 or sc55 soundfonts

[Donowa]

i haven't heard of any good sc-88 or 88 pro soundfonts, which is a shame since they have a very different, more professional sound than the sc-55

there's an sc-88 soundfont, but the samples are all fubar (guitars sound like horns)

if you want a taste of what the actual sc-88 sounds like, listen to this

or this

it is very dissapointing that none had made a sc88 pro soundfont

Interesting to hear the SC88 version of E1M1; the melodic patches are marginally improved but pretty familiar, while the percussion patches seem WAY better. Would love to hear the whole soundtrack on this hardware.

yeah, i used to have an sc-88 (standard) and i can tell you that there's a lot of really interesting changed patches (for example, the music box sounds like the one from yoshi's island) but it seems like nobody's recorded any of the doom sountracks on it (aside from the shareware tracks)
there's like a million different 55 recordings on yt but seemingly nothing for the 88 or 88pro, but last time i checked @DCG Retrowavehad a base model 88, so maybe you could contact them

Looks like there's at least this video to satisfy my curiosity! Very interesting stuff. Love that kick drum.

AFAIK the .sf2 has its own limitations , so a 100% accurate Sc88-pro soundfont might not just be possible ( without thinking the legal part)

If you have enough cash I suggest to buy the Roland VST plugin Sound Canvas VA and then install something like this

A VST driver for windows with its own virtual midi cable , then just select the right midi device.
