128 MB in size. There is a version for AWE with 28/32 MB available too.

Thanks alot for further improving this great soundfont! 😀

thx for the new version
I usually listen to pop midi files rather than game soundtracks.
but your soundfont sounds really well-balanced and is one of the best.

I've already tried many soundfonts and vsts to play midi files

giant soundfont 6.7 (also very good but very large)
TyrolandGS25 (not bad but has same "weakness" as sound canvas: drumsets are weak)
Apollo GMGS v1.105 (some instruments sounds good others don't)
Monalisa GM v2.109 (instruments especially the volumes are not good balanced and too much basic reverb)
Papelmedia Final XXL (extremely bad for a commercial product, many instruments sounds terrible)
Timbres of Heaven 4.0 (may be good for classical or orchestral music, bad for pop music)

yamaha xg (good for xg midi files, but instruments sound not very good compared to modern sfs)
roland sound canvas va 1.06 (sc 55, 88, 88 pro, 8820) (sounds artificially clean and thin, drumsets are very weak same like real hardware)
gravis ultrasound ppl 1.61 (not bad for an old soundcard but cannot match modern sfs 😀 )
native instruments bandstand 1.03.003 with hifi preset (can sound very good but drum kits are not the best, sound is a bit dull even with hifi eq preset)

3 new demo music added:

Wow, you've collected quite a few soundfonts!
I've only kept these, I'll probably delete SGM versions 4.0-7.0 soon too.
Seeing older versions of SGM reminds me of the mistakes I made when creating them, which makes me a little uncomfortable.....

(Now when I see people mentioning V2.01, I want to beg them to stop using it and delete it immediately... jesus.)

your soundfont v2.01 was very popular back then.
it was a big improvement to tools like wingroove or yamaha s‑yxg50
i'm sure there are still many people who use v2.01 today. 😀

I hope this is not too forward but I encourage you to change this mindset to archive all versions, regardless of how they make you feel. So many things get lost to time and it's a shame to add to that intentionally. Hopefully instead of a trail of mistakes you can see a pathway of improvement.
