message: Shouldn't that be worded as either bi-directionally compatible or more correctly as cross-compatible (compare backwards-compatible and foreward-compatible)--Jack Schitt 07:41, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

message: I'm a newby using sf2/midi files. I use to work with Guitar Pro, then Reason to create samplers for the midi files, but I had no satisfying results with redrum while importing, 'cause the drum pieces - like hihats or bass - doesn't match. I'd like to use soundfounds for the drum tracks but I don't know how. Could someone give me a hint or something? I'd appreciate very much.
:I hate to sound like a wet blanket but Wikipedia is not for technical support.  This talk page should only be about this article and how to make it better.  Why don't you try the Sonar forums?    --WayneMokane (talk) 04:13, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

message: i read on the FluidSynth web site that "SoundFont(R) is a registered trademark of E-mu Systems, Inc." This article does say it is a brand name, but perhaps the trademark holder should be mentioned? --Jerome Potts 03:08, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

message: On SoniVox's web site, they mentioned that a library in Kontakt or Giga format was about 1.3 GB, but due to a memory limit, but due to a memory limit, the SoundFont library fit onto one CD. What's that about? The article did not mention anything about a memory limit. Also, I think it would be informative if the article mentioned something about the hardware synthesizers (Korg M3, etc) that use SoundFont. Dr G (talk) 20:32, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree this would be a nice addition to the article.  Why don't you go ahead and add it in?  --WayneMokane (talk) 04:14, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

message: There is another SoundFont extension called ".sfArk". I don't know what it's for, but you can find examples at http://soundfonts.homemusician.net/ -David
sfArk is a SoundFont compressed in size for quicker downloading. The afArk Application (free the last time I checked) compresses and decompresses the file for use. Funkus (talk) 21:09, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

message: AFAIK, this is about SoundFont. And if we really need to mention MS Windows, shouldn't there be a reason? I am unable to see that reason. Also, it's no good to only mention Windows if this article also has to cover the adoption of SoundFont in operating systems. Both GNU/Linux and Mac OSX ought to be mentioned in that case, just to cover it all. NqpZ (talk) 19:03, 24 April 2010 (UTC)

message: I just removed a lot of questionable links from the external links section.  I left the official site in, but everything else is gone.  If people want to add individual, highly relevant sites, that can work.  But don't just spam us with every piece of hardware, software, or website that has anything to do with this.  I'd like to add a , but I'm not sure of the best category.  --NYKevin  03:14, 13 April 2013 (UTC)

message: A new type of SoundFont format started sometime recently that is built out of Ogg Vorbis compressed audio samples, with the extension .SF3. It's currently supported by MuseScore and Polyphone , perhaps others. I'm not sure whether it's notable enough to add to this article, though. Any thoughts?
