SF2S1 is a tool to convert SoundFont files (version 2 and above) to S1-format, the file format of the Yamaha EX5/7 synthesizer.
There are many electronic instruments and samples
in the public SoundFont format, that can be downloaded from the internet.
Getting the samples out of the SoundFont file, loading these samples by hand
into the EX5/7, setting all the parameters and building it to waves and voices
again is a tedious job, and can be done in a more easy way.
This version of the program is a preliminairy
release that is restricted to converting one SoundFont instrument and its
samples to an EX5/7 wave and samples.
Parameters that are converted in this version are
Use SF2S1 in 3 easy steps:
The program writes a S1M file that you can feed
into your EX5/7 (Disk - Load - Wave)
To play the wave initiate a Voice, in the oscillator menu choose RAM as source
bank and the Wave that you just read.
Have fun!
