Who are the creators that created each instrument in the FluidR3 SoundFont? (I Just Don't Know).
Hey everyone. I know that some of you like the FluidR3 SoundFont that is the default for MuseScore. But here's the real question.
(Who or what are the creators that created these Instrument Samples in each instrument in the SoundFont)?
So far, I know that Ethan Winer created the Cello and Bassoon SoundFonts that are in the FluidR3 SoundFont, and many more, and also Eddie created his English Horn SoundFont in the same bank too. But I just don't know who made samples of the instruments in the soundfont like to the Violin, Viola, Flute, Harp, etc. (I just don't know). If you guys have any answers, please feel-free to comment below for the results. I know that the SoundFont was originally created by Frank Wen. Until ChurchOrganist improved the SoundFont to make it more a little accurate. And it's pretty good. But a few adjustments need to be made in all of the instruments because most of the notes are out of tune of course.

I'm afraid the only information available is in the license.md file that comes with the default soundfont.
You can see all the changes and additions I have made in Changelog.txt also in the archive.
Sadly Frank Wen was not as meticulous about documentation as I have been. I'm not sure Ethan Winer created the bassoon instrument - there are differences between that and Ethan's own bassoon soundfont, which features velocity layers missing from the FluidR3 version, but the samples are definitely Ethan's.
If you're planning to do more work on FluidR3, don't forget to post what you are doing in the issue tracker, so the dev team (and I) know what is happening.
It would be a mistake to have two different versions floating around - we need to co-ordinate and amalgamate what we are doing rather than produce two different versions.
Feel free to contact me through my MuseScore.com account if you wish to discuss this away from the forums.
I won't be so busy after Christmas, so maybe we can get ourselves organised better then :)

Don't worry ChurchOrganist. However, you can't forget my version of the SoundFont: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B2I_8bgGH-Q3Z0YyVGJncnAxYTQ and BTW, I've changed the license a little bit.
