Looking for lost soundfont :(
I'm trying to recover an old project, and it uses a specific soundfont P51f.sf2 (not PC51f.sf2). I've somehow lost the copy of this I once had and can't seem to find it online.
Any help most gratefully received.

Re: Looking for lost soundfont :(
Hi,
I checked my backups but don't have that one..
I'm sure you looked here: http://www.synthfont.com/links_to_soundfonts.html
Is it an individual Soundfont or part of a large collection? There is reference to it here but the related links are dead:

Re: Looking for lost soundfont :(
Is it a General MIDI soundfont? If so, upload the MIDI track that uses that soundfont, and I'll make you a collection of the sounds you need. (They'll sound better than that old sf2, and will be sfz format).

Re: Looking for lost soundfont :(
Thank you all for your replies and search efforts.
I've actually made a lot of progress this afternoon
I managed to dig out an old mp3 of the recorded track, so using that for comparison, I looked for alternative sources. I tried the PC51f (which I do have) and that gave sort-of similar results, but not really what I wanted, although arguably better quality recordings.
Next I investigated emulating the sounds in Yoshimi. The good news is that I could get much closer. I shall carry on tweaking the sounds, and may end up with a quite improved result, and of course it can be to full 24bit 48k quality.

Lucky for you the developer of Yoshimi isn't as negligent in backing up his files.folderol wrote: emulating the sounds in Yoshimi.

Fortunately for him git keeps a complete record of that project.
