Just discovered an awesome program called #Polyphone. It's a tool for creating your own Soundfonts for MIDI devices. Basically you supply audio samples and tweak it into something your piano keyboard can play.

If you're using #LMMS and feel apprehensive about using "royalty-free" #soundfonts with ambiguous sources (a grey area for some musicians), check out the prospect of making your own instead!

It's licensed under the GPL, and works on Windows, Mac, and Linux!

A clean interface and convenient tools have been implemented to efficiently deal with small or big instruments.

Brilliant! I wish we had some website that let people share their sound font creations solely under a free license, similar to OpenClipArt.org for vector images or Freesound.org for sound effects.

Hopefully if I can find some time I can put together a banjo sound font from my beloved maplewood, five string...
