Whistle Sound Font

For those of you who know how to use 'em, and have hardware that supports this, I’ve made a sound font of a Dixon soprano D. You can check it out here:

In case you're not familiar with them, a sound font is a representation of an instruments sound, that can be 'played' using via a MIDI controller (usually keyboards) or MIDI file. So by installing this on my computer, then hooking up my yamaha keyboard to it, when I play on the yamaha, I get whistle sounds.

I know that the sound blaster live and sound blaster audigy sound cards support this, but I don't know what other hardware does.

Yay! A whistle soundfont! I use soundfonts a lot with Cakewalk Sonar. They’re really nice when you want an authentic sound. Now if I could only find a good U. pipes soundfont. Actually, I’d like to find a source for all celtic instruments on sounfont.

Glad to hear ya like that stuff. If any of you find any problems in it, or any wacky behavior, drop me an email, b/c I intend to refine it a bit more before I’m done with it.
