Re: WinGroove lives again (in soundfont form)

Oh hey, new activity in this thread. Sorry I missed it for three months. It looks like the last time VOGONS sent me notifications for it was in 2020, so I'll have to look into why they stopped. Shortly after releasing this soundfont in 2017, pachuco got in contact with me and shared the work he and …

Re: WinGroove lives again (in soundfont form)

There are some features of WinGroove that might go beyond the reproduction of the sound. I have an old MIDI file of the Tenchi-Muyo! Ryo-oh-ki theme (for those of you into 90s anime) that apparently is able to play correctly only using WinGroove. This appears to be dyamically signaling (in some …

Re: WinGroove lives again (in soundfont form)

WinGroove Soundfont v1.2 has been released (link in OP has also been updated): https://drive.google.com/open?id=1IiJ85BSVqbn5mdg0ess4X2W_IESsSh8l I actually meant to say I was using WinGroove 0.A4 Beta-2 (the latest English language version from whatever information I can scour) and not 0.9A Beta-2. …

Re: WinGroove lives again (in soundfont form)

It came with three original songs composed by the program author: Cold Waves, Mark Harry Bay Blues, and T.K. Eats My SHxxTS (seen above). As you might expect, they're very Japanese and contain a lifetime supply of cheesy MIDI guitar solos. I didn't come across WinGroove until 1998 or 1999, and we …

WinGroove lives again (in soundfont form)

Anybody here remember WinGroove? I made a soundfont that recreates it. http://i.imgur.com/PXrkn0Z.png This is the program that introduced me to wavetable MIDI synthesis, and has therefore become etched into my mind as the reference for how MIDI music should sound. Like most PC users in the late …
