Recently I found that someone has made a SoundFont of the ESFM synthesizer and it sounds quite similar although not exactly the same.
Has anyone tried this ESFM SoundFont? https://dropbox.com/s/s7muqffctbty4ju/ESFM.SF2?dl=1
It's a 703 MB file though made by some Japanese guy, I use it in Virtual MIDI Synth and then load the SF2 file in it. Give it a try, the MIDI sounds really nostalgic with it, quite similar to the original hardware ESFM.

I agree with you. I'd love a soundfont like that, too!
Holy spaghetti, somebody actually made such a soundfont 😁 "Acapella GM/GS" by Juicestain:

"This is a soundfont where I sing everything. It is GM Compatible, so you can play it with MIDIs."
Does anyone know what the heck this is:

"This contains the General MIDI and drum kit presets of the Roland SC-55. Each preset was deepsampled"
🤔
My favorite SC-55 SoundFont is this.
It's the closest I can hear to my real SC-55MKII, especially when playing games like Heretic and DOOM.

Yeah, I've used it too before I got the Sound Canvas VA to work in Linux. But I'm curious as to what is meant with "deepsampling". And it's several GBs. Is it machine learning related? A web search turns up nothing.

I checked it out.
It's just a standard set of SC-55 instruments, but with a lot of samples.
And when I say "a lot", I mean "A WHOLE BLOODY LOT".
