Hello, what's the legal status of the samples used in your soundfont? If they are not safe for commercial purposes, have you considered releasing a "libre" version? Thanks.

Another great update! Thank you for improving this soundfont even further. Although I would like to point out something that should be fixed in the ES8C soundfont is that the Timpani has the wrong pitch. Granted, it was like this in the original E-mu 8MBGMSFX soundfont from back in the 90's. But it sounds wrong in most MIDIs that have this instrument. Here is an example from "On the Hunt" from E1M6 of Ultimate DOOM and what i'm trying to describe.
