![]() This uncertainty may concern you if you intend to use GeneralUser GS in a commercial software product. If you become aware of any restricted samples being used in GeneralUser GS, please let me know so I can replace them. My understanding of the copyrights of all samples is only as good as the information provided by the original sources. Regardless, many “free” SoundFonts available on the web may indeed contain samples of questionable origin. Because GeneralUser GS originated as a personal project with no intention for publication, I cannot be 100% sure where all of the samples originated, although I do know that none of them came from commercially published SoundFont packages or sample CDs. Many of the samples are original, but some were taken from other banks freely (and legally) available on the Internet from various SoundFont websites. GeneralUser GS inherits the usage rights of the samples contained within, all of which allow full use in music production, including the ability to make profit from musical recordings created with GeneralUser GS. Please feel free to use it in your software projects, and to modify the SoundFont bank or its packaging to suit your needs. This SoundFont bank is provided to the community free of charge. You may use GeneralUser GS without restriction for your own music creation, private or commercial. It’s very flexible and does not require attribution or private-use only: You will have to shell out 300+ US Dollars for the library, about 25$ for a JACK compatible DAW (unless you're on Linux), Download and use JACK to hookup MuseScore and your DAW.No, but here is the license as of v1.47. Unfortunately, what you are asking for: A 100% perfect sound library that is compatible with MuseScore does not the MuseScore Orchestra and what I listed is about the best there is in my opinion. It is, however, good enough for checking harmonies etc. MuseScore lacks the fine control over performance parameters available in a DAW, and so, whatever soundfont you use is not going to sound accurate. TBH if you're wanting better playback then you would be better to invest your efforts into exporting an SMF from MuseScore then using a DAW to produce the sounds you want with VST instruments and effects. Consequently the SSO SF2 soundfont does not produce the sounds associated with ones in the instrument dialogue. CC0 is not like the other CC license, it just helps the user to put his work in the public domain and it's definitely compatible with GNU GPLv2.īe aware, however, that using a non GM soundfont may lead to unexpected results when using MuseScore's default instruments, as the Instruments.xml file which controls them uses the GM soundset as its standard. ![]() If you don't care about what people do with this soundfont, I would suggest putting somewhere that this soundfont (or at least the parts you own) is licensed under CC0. ![]() It would ease the reuse and remix of the soundfont in the future. It would have been pretty cool if we could see which one are ok and which other are definitely not and would make us (and you, since you distribute it) legally liable (even if it's unlikely anyone complain.) Also, sorry to go into legal again, it would be great if you could attach a license to the soundfont for the parts that you did yourself (the compilation, the instruments based on public domain samples etc.). We need to make sure that all samples come from suitable licensed soundfont. ![]() Thank you for the huge work! It's a pity that you can't credit all the samples because such a soundfont will never make it into MuseScore. ![]()
