Welcome to the Libre Music Challenge #22, for the month of September 2023.
This is a friendly contest where we make music with free (libre) software exclusively. Everyone is welcome to join, at any skill level.
This is a place for learning and sharing knowledge, and an opportunity to explore creativity through limitation.
But most importantly, we just hope it inspires you to make some music!
The challenge for this month is to make a track using only General Midi soundfonts.
One of the easier ways of doing this is through plugins like x42's General MIDI Synth and falkTX's FluidPlug, which use respectively the GeneralUser and FluidGM soundfonts. You can of course also load the soundfonts in any other way you want.
You're not limited to the GeneralUser or FluidGM soundfonts. Feel free to pick any other - fairly standard - general midi soundfont. Other examples are Arachno, Fatboy, and the Musescore soundfonts.
You can use any DAW, but all sounds must come from the general midi soundfont. You can use any other plugin, but try not to go crazy with processing, and keep it sounding like general midi, within reason :)
Happy music making!
