Sounds similar to the GM program, but the M3 one sounds bassier and has a slight downward infliction Sounds very similar to the GM program, more than likely is the same Like the AcousticGuitar(nylon), this one sounds similar to the GM one, but the attack is different Sound similar to the GM program, but the attack on the GM is sharper, I think Sounds VERY close to GM program can’t tell if it’s the same or not Can’t think of any other tracks that use it off the top of my head.

This is actually used for those weird sci-fi riffs from EarthBound, though obviously some heavy pitch-bending is done on it The “Same as GM program” comment just means that the sample used in MOTHER 3 is exactly the same as the General MIDI instrument, though the MOTHER 3 versions of the instruments are always higher quality and have some extra reverb. Protip: click the name of each instrument under the M3 Soundfont column to hear what it sounds like. What I have here today is a list of all of the instruments in MOTHER 3’s soundfont, and which specific General MIDI programs they correspond to, as well as examples of what the instruments in M3’s soundfont sound like, since they can sound quite different from how they sound in-game. There’s lots of other oddities with MOTHER 3’s soundfont as well, which can make things confusing if you’re just looking for a few specific samples. For example, MOTHER 3’s sitar sample isn’t located where the General MIDI sitar program is instead, it’s located under the GM’s “Tango Accordian” program. Most older video games use soundfonts, and MOTHER 3 is no exception.Įach instrument in the soundfont corresponds to one of the General MIDI programs, acting as a “bank” of sorts. sf2 file would override the instruments in the MIDI, allowing you to listen to the MIDI with the instruments stored in the. Then you have a soundfont (.sf2) file, which stores a bunch of instrument data (specifically, samples.) If you were to take a soundfont file (.sf2) and apply it to a MIDI file, the instruments stored in the. There’s a total of 128 General MIDI (known as “GM” instruments or “programs”) in a MIDI file, these “programs” will always sound the same. These MIDI files can be made using lots of pre-set instruments.
