Soundfont is a brand name that collectively refers to a file format and associated technology designed to bridge the gap between recorded and synthesized audio, especially for the purposes of computer music composition. Soundfont is also a registered trademark of, Inc. M83 Before Dawn Heals Us Rar. , and the exclusive license for re-formatting and managing historical Soundfont content has been acquired by Digital Sound Factory. Soundfont technology is akin to software sampling. A Soundfont file, or Soundfont 'bank', contains one or more sampled audio waveforms (or 'samples'), which can be re-synthesized at different pitches and dynamic levels. Each sampled waveform may be associated with one or more ranges of pitches and dynamics. Generally speaking, the quality of a Soundfont bank is a function of the quality of the digital samples and the intelligent association of samples with their appropriate pitch ranges. Quality is also dependent on the number of samples taken for a given range of pitches.

Soundfont banks are tightly integrated with MIDI devices and can be seamlessly used in place of (GM) patches in many computer music sequencers and players. The quality of Soundfont banks is generally regarded as superior to standard GM banks and many Soundfont banks have been created specifically to replace GM banks with samples of each corresponding musical instrument.
