Amazing stuff! Thanks for all your hard work, each iteration gets better and better. This is the first soundfont that I've come across that's better than the 4MB soundfont that came with the AWE64. I bought a SIMMCON many years ago, when they first came out and tried just about every 28MB soundfont that I could find. The 4MB Creative soundfont was still better balanced than those 28MBs, even the good ones, like Masterpiece and Chorium.

Finally I can use the SIMMCON to full effect.

Very good and balanced soundfont, I use it with my Audigy RX MIDI synth and sounds great! One question: Overdrive Guitar is far inferior than the previous version's, why has it been replaced?

The new Overdrive Guitar sounds more energetic and stands out more in a mix.
